The bill amends section 5.05 of the Revised Code to correct the Latin name of the Buckeye, which is designated as the official state tree of Ohio. The current legal language identifies the tree as Aesculus globra glabra, and the bill seeks to update this nomenclature to reflect the accurate classification. Additionally, the bill includes a provision to repeal the existing section 5.05 of the Revised Code, thereby ensuring that the updated language is the only reference to the Buckeye tree in state law. This legislative change aims to maintain the accuracy and integrity of Ohio's official symbols.
