▶ Show statement of purpose

The purpose of this legislation is to provide young adults another way to register their wishes to be organ, eye and tissue donors. There has been an increase in the number of 16 to 20-year-olds that are not getting a driver's license, the number one place they expect to be able to register as a donor. This legislation would instruct all institutions of higher education to twice a year send out an email with a link to a registration page to give students that may not have a driver's license an easy way to register their wishes to help others by being an organ, eye and tissue donor.
