The bill enacts a new section, 5.57, of the Revised Code to officially designate September 28 as "Speaker Jo Ann Davidson Day." This designation honors Jo Ann Davidson, who was the first female speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives and was born on September 28, 1927.
The bill serves to recognize Davidson's contributions and legacy in Ohio's political history by establishing a specific day in her honor, thereby ensuring her achievements are commemorated annually.
