The bill introduced by Senator Ingram, along with cosponsors Senators Lang, DeMora, Craig, and Smith, aims to enact a new section in the Revised Code to officially designate May 13 as "Judge Nathaniel R. Jones Day." This designation honors Judge Nathaniel R. Jones, an influential attorney, judge, and law professor, who was born on that date in Youngstown, Ohio, in 1928.
The bill highlights Judge Jones's significant contributions to the advancement of civil rights throughout his life, recognizing his legacy and impact on the community. The new legal language specifies the date and the purpose of the designation, ensuring that his contributions are commemorated annually.
