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 the twenty-ninth day of May is to be recognized as "Sojourner Truth Day." This addition to the law reflects a commitment to acknowledging significant historical figures and their impact on society.
