The bill introduced by Senator DeMora aims to designate the buckeye, a confection made of peanut butter fudge and chocolate, as the official state candy of Ohio. This designation is formalized through the enactment of a new section, 5.083, in the Revised Code.
The specific legal language inserted into the current law states that "the confection consisting of peanut butter fudge and chocolate, known as the buckeye, is hereby adopted as the official candy of the state." This bill reflects a cultural recognition of the buckeye as a significant treat associated with Ohio.
