The bill amends section 5.2281 of the Revised Code to officially designate the month of April as "Ohio Deaf History Month." This change replaces the previous designation, which was a period beginning on the thirteenth day of March and ending on the fifteenth day of May. The bill aims to promote awareness and recognition of the history and contributions of the deaf community in Ohio.

Additionally, the bill maintains the designation of May as "Better Hearing and Speech Month" and the fourteenth day of May as "Childhood Apraxia of Speech Awareness Day." The existing section 5.2281 is repealed, indicating a complete overhaul of the previous language regarding these designations.
