The bill amends section 5.2281 of the Revised Code to officially designate the month of April as "Ohio Deaf History Month." This change involves the deletion of the previous designation period, which was from the thirteenth day of March to the fifteenth day of May, and replaces it with the entire month of April.

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," which are intended to raise public awareness about communication disorders and support individuals facing these challenges. The existing section 5.2281 is also repealed as part of this legislative update.
