Bill Summary
To enact section 5.42 of the Revised Code to designate March 8 as International Women's Day in Ohio.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to enact a new section in the Ohio Revised Code that officially designates March 8th as "International Women's Day" in the state of Ohio. By creating this formal designation, the bill recognizes the annual global celebration of women's achievements, raises awareness about women's rights and equality, and provides an opportunity for Ohioans to acknowledge and commemorate the social, economic, cultural, and political contributions of women. International Women's Day, which is observed worldwide on March 8th each year, aims to highlight the ongoing struggles for gender equality and celebrate the progress that has been made in advancing women's rights and opportunities. While the bill does not create any new legal obligations or programs, it serves as a symbolic acknowledgment of the importance of women's contributions to society.
