The bill amends section 5.05 of the Revised Code to correct the Latin name of the Buckeye tree from "Aesculus globra" to "Aesculus glabra," officially designating it as the state tree of Ohio. Additionally, the bill enacts a new section, 5.083, which establishes the buckeye confection, made of peanut butter fudge and chocolate, as the official candy of the state.

Furthermore, the bill repeals the existing section 5.05 of the Revised Code, ensuring that the updated legal language reflects the new designation of both the state tree and the state candy. This legislative change aims to celebrate Ohio's cultural heritage by recognizing these iconic symbols.
