A STATEWIDE ORGAN, EYE AND TISSUE DONOR REGISTRY COUPLED WITH AN ENHANCED PROGRAM OF PROMOTION OF SUCH REGISTRY, WILL LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF ORGAN, EYE AND TISSUE DONORS REGISTERED IN THIS STATE, THEREBY AFFORDING MORE PERSONS WHO ARE AWAITING ORGAN, EYE OR TISSUE TRANSPLANTS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A FULL AND PRODUCTIVE LIFE. 2. The department shall establish an organ, EYE, and tissue donor registry, which shall be called and be referred to as the "donate life registry", WHICH SHALL PROVIDE A MEANS TO MAKE AND REGISTER A GIFT OF ORGANS, EYES AND TISSUES TO TAKE PLACE AFTER DEATH PURSUANT TO SECTION FORTY-THREE HUNDRED ONE AND OTHER APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THIS ARTICLE.
