New Jersey residents can now add their names to the Donate Life NJ Donor Registry online, instead of having to do it at a Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) office (see full release).
The availability of an online portal was a mandate of the New Jersey Hero Act, signed into effect by Senate President/Former Governor Richard J. Codey in 2008. The Lions Eye Bank of New Jersey honored Senator Codey as a 2009 Visionary of the Year (see the program booklet) for his support of the Hero Act.

The Lions Eye Bank of New Jersey is a subsidiary of Midwest Eye-Banks, a charitable, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the restoration of sight. We recover, evaluate and distribute human eye tissue for transplantation.
 As part of our mission, we support preliminary research into the causes and cures of blinding eye conditions. Through public and professional education programs, we encourage people to learn about eye, organ and tissue donation. We believe education is the key to making an informed decision about donation, and is also an important way for us to secure funding for the community services we provide. We also provide humanitarian aid to those unable to afford transplantation procedures, both at home and abroad, by waiving our service fees when a charitable need exists.
The Lions Eye Bank of New Jersey is accredited by
the Eye Bank Association of America (EBAA).
