The bill introduced in the 136th General Assembly aims to designate the month of April as "Arab American Heritage Month" in the state of Ohio. This designation is intended to recognize and celebrate the contributions of Arab Americans to the cultural fabric of the state and the nation.
To implement this change, the bill enacts a new section, 5.266, in the Revised Code, which explicitly states that "The month of April is designated as 'Arab American Heritage Month.'" This addition highlights the importance of acknowledging the heritage and achievements of Arab Americans within the community.
