H.R. No. 1610
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, April 2022 is National Donate Life Month, an
  advocacy campaign with the goal of educating the public about organ
  donation and the power that all of us have to save lives through the
  compassionate act of registering to be a donor; and
         WHEREAS, At any given time, more than 100,000 men, women, and
  children are on the national transplant waiting list, with an
  estimated 10,000 waiting in Texas; there are more Americans
  awaiting lifesaving organ transplants than there are available
  donors, and tragically, 20 people pass away every day before a match
  can be found; and
         WHEREAS, Approximately 95 percent of U.S. adults support
  organ donation, but only 58 percent are currently signed up to be
  donors; just one donor can save as many as eight lives, and corneal
  and tissue transplants from a single individual can help many more
  patients enjoy better health; and
         WHEREAS, Donate Life America and its partnering
  organizations established National Donate Life Month in 2003; each
  April, this month-long observance provides an opportunity to
  encourage Americans to register as organ, eye, and tissue donors
  and to celebrate those who have given the gift of life as donors;
  and
         WHEREAS, By promoting organ donation and donor registration,
  we can give hope to countless Americans for longer, healthier
  lives, and this worthy cause is one that deserves the earnest
  support of every Texan; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
  Legislature hereby recognize April 2022 as National Donate Life
  Month and commend all those who have devoted their time and efforts
  to advocating for the cause of organ donation.
