The bill proposes the enactment of section 5.213 of the Revised Code, which designates February 20th as "Black Ohioan Civil War Medal of Honor Recipient Day." This day is intended to honor the contributions and sacrifices of Black soldiers from Ohio who were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for their bravery and actions during the American Civil War.

The new legal language inserted into the Revised Code specifies the date and the purpose of the designation, emphasizing the recognition of these soldiers' significant roles in history. This initiative aims to promote awareness and appreciation for the contributions of Black Ohioans in the Civil War, ensuring their legacy is acknowledged and celebrated.
