COMMITTEE REPORT

April 17, 1991

H. 3799

Introduced by REP. M.O. Alexander

S. Printed 4/17/91--S.

Read the first time April 10, 1991.

THE COMMITTEE ON INVITATIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 3799), to designate April 21-27, 1991 as Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Week, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:

THOMAS L. MOORE, for Committee.

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO DESIGNATE APRIL 21-27, 1991, AS ORGAN AND TISSUE DONOR AWARENESS WEEK.

Whereas, thousands of people are waiting for a miracle in South Carolina: a deteriorating organ to be replaced by a healthy donor organ, a limb to be saved by a bone graft, sight to be received from a donated cornea, and skin grafts to be given to a burn patient; and

Whereas, one of the main obstacles to making these miracles happen is the limited supply of donated organs, tissues, and bones;

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly wish to recognize this obstacle and work to present the option of donation to each South Carolinian; and

Whereas, an organ and tissue awareness campaign is needed in South Carolina to facilitate the procurement of organs and tissues for transplantation in South Carolina. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly designate April 21-27, 1991, as Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Week.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Kristine Hartvigsen of the South Carolina Hospital Association.
