The bill proposes the enactment of section 5.079 of the Revised Code to officially designate the Loveland Frog as the state cryptid of Ohio.

It is described as a frog-like, bipedal creature approximately four feet tall and has inspired various cultural expressions, including books, documentaries, local festivals, and artwork.

The bill highlights the significance of the Loveland Frog in contributing to local tourism, the economy, and the unique cultural identity and oral history of Ohio. By adopting the Loveland Frog as the official state cryptid, the legislation aims to recognize and celebrate this creature's role in the state's folklore and community spirit.
