The bill amends section 5.21 of the Revised Code to designate November as "Veterans' month," aimed at encouraging the observance of events that recognize the contributions of Ohio veterans. In addition to this new designation, the bill maintains the existing legal holidays of "Labor Day" on the first Monday in September, "Columbus Day" on the second Monday in October, and "Veterans' Day" on the eleventh day of November, which is recognized as a legal holiday.

Furthermore, the bill includes a repeal of the existing section 5.21 of the Revised Code, indicating a comprehensive update to the legal language surrounding these observances. The insertion of "Veterans' month" reflects a commitment to honoring veterans throughout the entire month of November, rather than limiting recognition to a single day.
