The bill, introduced by Representative Lorenz, proposes the enactment of section 5.2324 of the Revised Code to officially designate February 4 as Thaddeus Kociuszko Day in the state of Ohio. This day is intended to honor Thaddeus Kociuszko, a Polish general, military engineer, and hero of the American Revolutionary War, who was born on February 4, 1746. The bill highlights Kociuszko's contributions and legacy, referencing Thomas Jefferson's description of him as "as pure a son of liberty, as I have ever known."
The new legal language inserted into the Revised Code establishes the significance of this date and commemorates Kociuszko's role in American history. There are no deletions from current law associated with this bill.
