Bill Summary

CONCERNING EXTENDING THE EMILY KEYES - JOHN W. BUCKNER ORGAN AND TISSUE DONATION AWARENESS FUND INDEFINITELY.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to extend the Emily Keyes - John W. Buckner Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Fund indefinitely by removing the previous sunset date of September 1, 2027. The bill highlights the fund's significant achievements since its inception in 2007, including driving over 15 million donor registrations in Colorado, providing educational course training for 122,436 students in 4,847 classrooms, distributing educational materials at 1,844 community events, and supporting 9,369 life-saving transplants in the state's service area. Donor Alliance, the federally designated nonprofit organ procurement organization, has served as the fund's fiduciary agent since 2010 and provides in-kind administrative support. The bill specifically removes the existing legislative provisions that would have automatically repealed the fund's authorization on September 1, 2027, effectively making the fund permanent and allowing it to continue its critical work in raising awareness about organ and tissue donation in Colorado.
