ACR 158 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to Donate Life Month.

This bill designates April 2026 as Donate Life Month in California to raise awareness about organ and tissue donation. It requires state agencies and public officials to acknowledge the month through proclamations and public communications. The measure does not change laws or allocate funding but serves as a symbolic recognition to encourage participation in donation programs.

What changed between versions

06/18/26 - Chaptered → ACR158 · 1 edit

MINOR

No substantive policy changes occurred between these two versions. The differences are entirely formatting and presentation: the first version is the formal authenticated chaptered document, while the second is a web-based rendering from the California Legislature website that includes navigation elements, search tools, and page structure. The resolution text itself - proclaiming April 2026 as Donate Life Month in California - is identical in both versions.

TECHNICAL

The formal authenticated chaptered document format (with STATE OF CALIFORNIA header, page numbers, and legislative counsel digest layout) was replaced with a web-based presentation that includes website navigation, search functionality, version history links, and bill tracking tools.
