The bill, introduced by Representatives Lear and Williams, aims to establish a new observance in Ohio by designating the weeks between Mother's Day and Father's Day as "Natural Family Month." This initiative seeks to promote the importance of family and strengthen family bonds within the community.
To implement this designation, the bill enacts a new section, 5.2541, in the Revised Code. The inserted legal language specifies that "Natural Family Month" will be recognized from Mother's Day, which is the second Sunday in May, to Father's Day, which is the third Sunday in June. This formal recognition is intended to encourage activities and discussions that celebrate and support family values during this period.
