The bill proposes the enactment of section 5.295 of the Revised Code to officially designate May 13 as "Judge Nathaniel R. Jones Day." This day is intended to honor Judge Nathaniel R. Jones, an influential attorney, judge, and law professor, who was born on that date in Youngstown, Ohio, in 1928. The bill recognizes his significant contributions to the advancement of civil rights throughout his life.
The new legal language inserted into the Revised Code specifically establishes the date and the name of the day in recognition of Judge Jones's legacy. There are no deletions from current law associated with this bill.
