Today: Thursday, July 29, 2010 – Continuing Our Commitment to Excellence in Higher Education
Today, Governor Patrick will sign “An Act Establishing an Organ and Tissue Donor Registration Fund” at a State House ceremony. By helping to increase awareness about the importance of organ and tissue donations and by facilitating donor registration, this law will support the expansion of organ and tissue donation efforts in Massachusetts. The legislation establishes a fund that will accept public and private gifts, grants and donations that will support donor registration and revitalizes the Department of Public Health's Advisory Council on Organ and Tissue Transplants and Donations. “This bill is a major step forward in addressing the dire need for tissue and organ donations in Massachusetts,” said Governor Patrick. “Organ and tissue donations save lives, and I am proud that Massachusetts will be expanding its efforts to educate the public about the importance of this issue.” Full text of the bill can be found
