HJR 1003 Colorado House · 2026 Regular Session

National Blood Donor Month

HJR 1003 is a ceremonial joint resolution designating January as National Blood Donor Month in Colorado. It formally recognizes voluntary blood donors and urges all eligible Coloradans to donate regularly, while encouraging businesses and organizations to sponsor community blood drives with centers like Vitalant. The resolution has no binding legal effect - it expresses support and promotes awareness but does not create new laws, funding, or requirements. It directly affects Colorado residents (especially eligible donors), blood collection organizations, and local businesses through its non-binding recommendations.
