The bill proposes the enactment of section 5.63 of the Revised Code to officially designate February 8th as "General William Tecumseh Sherman Day." This designation is intended to honor General Sherman, a notable Civil War figure, who was born in Lancaster, Ohio on February 8, 1820.

The new legal language inserted into the current law specifies the date and the name of the day, recognizing the contributions of General Sherman to American history. There are no deletions from current law associated with this bill.
