Earlier today, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger held a ceremonial signing of Senate Bill 1395 at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. The bill will encourage Californians to become organ donors and will also create the nation’s first living donor registry for kidney transplants. Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Packard Children's CEO Christopher Dawes, state Sen. Elaine Alquist, and Dean Philip Pizzo, MD, among others, were in attendance. Below are more photos from the ceremony.
