BILL NUMBER:S2306

Title of bill

An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the distinctive gift of life license plates

Purpose

To update the language on the distinctive donate life license plates.

Summary of provisions

Section 1. Amends subdivision 1 of section 404-u of the vehicle and traffic law to change the words on the distinctive gift of life license plates from "Life Pass It On" to "Donate Life New York State" and "Be an Organ & Tissue Donor."

Section 2. Effective date.

Justification

New York State currently ranks 50th in donor designation share in the nation, with only 20% of its population enrolled in the NYS donate Life Registry, while it has the third highest need for transplantable organs. In New York State, one New Yorker dies every 13 hours while waiting for a transplant.

The changes to the gift of life license plate will help promote awareness of the importance of organ donation, and encourage more New Yorkers to enroll in the Donate Life Registry. It will also allow recipients and the families and friends of donors to show their support of those who choose to make the gift of life.
