AI Summary

This bill aims to officially designate March 10 as "Harriet Tubman Day" by adding a new section to the Ohio Revised Code. The bill proposes to create section 5.2324, which will formally recognize the date as a day to commemorate Harriet Tubman, a famous African American abolitionist, humanitarian, and key figure in the Underground Railroad who helped numerous enslaved people escape to freedom during the mid-19th century.
