Bill Summary
To enact section 5.2540 of the Revised Code to designate February 14 as "Cardiovascular Health Awareness Day."
AI Summary
This bill enacts a new section in the Ohio Revised Code that officially designates February 14th as "Cardiovascular Health Awareness Day". By establishing this formal designation, the bill aims to draw public attention to cardiovascular health, which likely involves promoting awareness about heart disease prevention, risk factors, and healthy lifestyle choices. While the bill text is very concise, the selection of February 14th (traditionally Valentine's Day) may be symbolically meaningful, as it could serve as a reminder to focus on heart health during a holiday associated with love and heart-related imagery. The legislation does not appear to mandate specific activities or programs, but rather creates an official state recognition of a day dedicated to cardiovascular health awareness.
