Donate Life Month
This bill is a Senate resolution that officially designates April 2026 as "Donate Life Month" in South Carolina. The measure directly affects state government entities and the general public by establishing a formal recognition period to highlight organ, eye, and tissue donation. The resolution uses a series of "whereas" clauses to provide context about the importance of donations and the number of people waiting for transplants, but it does not create new laws or change existing regulations. Its primary function is to raise awareness rather than to implement specific policy changes or allocate funding.
