Bill Summary
A BILL To amend section 5.2281 of the Revised Code to change the designation for "Ohio Deaf History Month" to the month of April.
AI Summary
This bill amends section 5.2281 of the Ohio Revised Code to change the designation of "Ohio Deaf History Month" from a specific period in March (from the thirteenth day to the fifteenth day) to the entire month of April. The bill maintains the existing context of other commemorative months and days related to hearing and speech, such as "Better Hearing and Speech Month" in May and "Childhood Apraxia of Speech Awareness Day" on May 14th. By shifting the dates of Ohio Deaf History Month, the legislation appears to be updating the official recognition of deaf history in the state, potentially to align with broader national or local observances or to provide a more comprehensive timeframe for commemorating and raising awareness about deaf history and culture.
