supporting January as National Blood Donor Month.

South Dakota's House and Senate passed HCR 6005, a concurrent resolution recognizing January as National Blood Donor Month. The resolution highlights the critical need for blood donations (citing that transfusions occur every two seconds in the U.S. and type O blood is most urgently needed) and urges citizens, businesses, and organizations to support blood drives and acknowledge donors. It does not create new laws or funding but symbolically encourages regular donation and community blood drive participation. This is a procedural resolution focused on raising awareness, not implementing policy changes.
