The bill introduced in the 136th General Assembly aims to designate May 29 as "Sojourner Truth Day" in the state of Ohio. This new recognition is intended to honor the legacy and contributions of Sojourner Truth, an influential figure in the fight for women's rights and abolition.

To implement this designation, the bill enacts a new section, 5.282, in the Revised Code, which explicitly states that May 29 will be recognized as "Sojourner Truth Day." This addition to the law serves to formally acknowledge the significance of Sojourner Truth's work and promote awareness of her impact on social justice and equality.
