The bill amends section 5.2219 of the Revised Code to officially designate March as "Colorectal Cancer Screening and Awareness Month." This change emphasizes the importance of both screening and awareness in the fight against colorectal cancer, highlighting the need for increased public knowledge and proactive health measures.

Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section 5.2219 of the Revised Code, which indicates that the previous designation did not include the specific mention of screening. This legislative update aims to enhance the focus on screening as a critical component of colorectal cancer prevention and early detection efforts.
