The bill, introduced by Senator DeMora, seeks to enact a new section in the Revised Code to officially designate February 11 as "Thomas Edison Day." This recognition honors Thomas Alva Edison, the renowned inventor who was born on that date in Milan, Ohio, in 1847.

The proposed legal language includes the insertion of section 5.64, which states that the eleventh day of February is to be recognized as "Thomas Edison Day." This designation aims to celebrate Edison's contributions to innovation and his legacy as a prominent figure in American history.
