The bill introduced by Senator DeMora, along with several cosponsors, aims to designate the buckeye as the official state candy of Ohio. To accomplish this, the bill proposes the enactment of a new section, 5.083, in the Revised Code.

The new legal language specifies that the confection made of peanut butter fudge and chocolate, referred to as the buckeye, will be officially recognized as Ohio's state candy. This designation highlights the cultural significance of the buckeye in Ohio and promotes state pride.
