New Donation Legislation Signed into Law!
Great news for Ohio!
Donor dad Governor DeWine has signed House Bill 256, allowing Ohioans to say “YES” to organ donation when registering for hunting and fishing licenses. This opens a new avenue for people to register their donation decision.
Lifeline of Ohio’s Andrew Mullins joined donor family members for this very special moment. Donor daughter Sara Huffman and heart recipient and donor dad Matthew Carey shared their connections to donation, provided testimony and spoke about their loved ones, who were avid hunters, to support this impactful bill. This legislation will take effect in August 2025!
We thank Reps. Kevin Miller and Rodney Creech for sponsoring this bill and Michelle Fitzgibbon for supporting the process. Thanks also to heart recipient Ryan Zinn for providing testimony to move this bill forward!
