Joint Resolution Recognizing National Blood Donor Month

This resolution recognizes January as National Blood Donor Month in Utah through a symbolic legislative gesture. It does not create new laws or allocate funds but urges Utah citizens to support blood donation by acknowledging voluntary donors and encouraging regular donations. The resolution highlights the importance of blood donations - citing that only 3% of eligible people donate - while emphasizing the need for diverse blood types, especially type O, to support patients like trauma victims and cancer patients. It specifically encourages businesses and organizations to sponsor blood drives with groups like the American Red Cross. As a procedural resolution, it has no binding effect on policy or funding.
