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 ensure accuracy. Additionally, the bill includes a provision to repeal the existing section 5.05 of the Revised Code, indicating a complete replacement of the previous text with the corrected information regarding the Buckeye tree. This legislative change aims to maintain the integrity of state symbols by ensuring that the official designation reflects the correct scientific classification.
