A BILL

To enact section 5.2230 of the Revised Code to 1
designate September as "Leukemia, Lymphoma, and 2
Myeloma Awareness Month." 3

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

       Section 1. That section 5.2230 of the Revised Code be enacted 4
to read as follows: 5

       Sec. 5.2230. The month of September is designated as 6
"Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Myeloma Awareness Month" to enhance the 7
understanding of blood cancers and encourage participation in 8
voluntary activities that support education programs, services to 9
patients, and the funding of research programs to find cures. 10

       Section 2. It is the intent of the General Assembly in 11
enacting section 5.2230 of the Revised Code to increase public 12
awareness and understanding of blood cancers. 13

        The members of the 126th General Assembly feel that it is 14
vitally important that the State of Ohio join with the Leukemia 15
and Lymphoma Society in formally designating September as 16
Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Myeloma Awareness Month. Blood cancers 17
affect many thousands of Americans each year. Ohio is committed to 18
the eradication of these diseases and supports the treatment of 19
its citizens who suffer from them. The state encourages private 20
efforts to enhance research funding, education programs, and 21
patient services that address these diseases. 22
