Bill > HB418

This bill amends section 5.05 of the Ohio Revised Code to correct a typographical error in the Latin name of the Buckeye tree, which is the official state tree. Specifically, the bill changes the Latin name from "Aesculus globra" to "Aesculus glabra", which is the correct scientific nomenclature for the Ohio Buckeye tree. The correction ensures that the official state tree is accurately described in the legal code. The bill follows standard legislative procedure by first amending the existing section with the corrected Latin name and then repealing the previous version of the section, which helps maintain the clarity and accuracy of the state's statutory language.
