The bill proposes the enactment of a new section in the Revised Code to officially designate October 4th as "Henrietta Lacks Day" in the state of Ohio. This recognition honors Henrietta Lacks, whose contributions to medical research have had a significant impact on science and healthcare.

The specific legal language being added to the Revised Code is found in the new section 5.2322, which states that the fourth day of October is to be recognized as "Henrietta Lacks Day." There are no deletions from current law associated with this bill.
