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.
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 amendment aims to enhance public awareness and encourage proactive health measures related to colorectal cancer during the designated month.
