SJR 159 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates month of April of each year as "Donate Life Month."

SJR 159 designates April each year as "Donate Life Month" in New Jersey to promote organ, eye, and tissue donor registration and honor those impacted by donation. The resolution requests the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public awareness activities, noting that over 4,000 New Jersey residents are awaiting transplants. It emphasizes that one donor can save up to eight lives and enhance the lives of over 75 others through tissue and eye donations, highlighting the critical need to increase donor registration. The bill does not create new laws but serves as a symbolic effort to address the organ shortage.
