5533.681, 5533.682, 5533.683, 5533.684, and 5533.92 of the Revised | 24 |

known as the tomato, is hereby adopted as the state fruit. | 27 |

Sec. 5.2244. The month of February is designated as "Black | 37 |
History Month" to honor and recognize the contributions that | 38 |
African Americans have made in the history of this state and the | 39 |
United States. | 40 |
Sec. 5.2245. The month of May is designated as "Nurses Month" | 41 |
in recognition of the hard work and dedication of nurses and their | 42 |
significant contributions in improving the health care of the | 43 |
citizens of this state. | 44 |
In enacting this section, it is the intent of the general | 45 |
assembly to acknowledge and celebrate the nurses of this state. | 46 |
Although nurses practice their profession in a wide variety of | 47 |
settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, other health care | 48 |
facilities, physician's offices, schools, and even private homes, | 49 |
the contributions made by the nursing profession in the | 50 |
improvement of the health care system are sometimes overlooked. | 51 |
Therefore, the general assembly feels that it is vitally important | 52 |
that a month be formally designated as "Nurses Month" for the | 53 |
purpose of increasing public awareness of the role nurses play in | 54 |
the health and well-being of all Ohioans. | 55 |
Sec. 5.2246. The month of May is designated as "Melanoma/Skin | 56 |

Aneurysm Awareness Month" to increase public awareness and | 75 |
understanding of brain aneurysms, including methods of early | 76 |
detection and treatment. | 77 |
It is the intent of the general assembly in enacting this | 78 |
section to increase public awareness and understanding of brain | 79 |
aneurysms. The general assembly feels that it is vitally | 80 |
important that the state designate September as "Brain Aneurysm | 81 |
Awareness Month." According to the brain aneurysm foundation, | 82 |
brain aneurysms afflict approximately two per cent of Americans, | 83 |
most commonly those aged thirty-five to sixty years. The state | 84 |
encourages and commends private efforts, including those of the | 85 |
brain aneurysm foundation, to enhance funding for aneurysm | 86 |
research, provide educational materials and programs, and create a | 87 |
support network for patients, survivors, and their families. | 88 |
Sec. 5.2253. The month of September is hereby designated as | 89 |

"Childhood Cancer Awareness Month" to increase public awareness | 94 |
of childhood cancer. | 95 |
Sec. 5.2255. The month of September is designated as "Ovarian | 96 |
Cancer Awareness Month." | 97 |
Sec. 5.2256. The twenty-second day of October shall be | 98 |
designated "U.S.S. Hocking Day," in honor of the distinguished | 99 |
career of the U.S.S. Hocking, a World War II attack transport | 100 |
ship, the navy crew who served on it, and the marines who were | 101 |
carried into battle on it. | 102 |
Sec. 5.2257. The month of October is designated as "Crime | 103 |
Prevention Month." | 104 |
Sec. 5.2258. The month of October is designated as | 105 |
"Disability Employment Awareness Month" to demonstrate continuing | 106 |
support for and to raise the awareness of the need for employment | 107 |
opportunities for people with disabilities. | 108 |
Sec. 5.2259. The Saturday immediately preceding Thanksgiving | 109 |
day is designated as "Adoption Day." | 110 |
Sec. 5.2260. The month of November is designated as "Epilepsy | 111 |
Awareness Month" to increase public awareness and understanding of | 112 |
epilepsy. | 113 |
It is the intent of the general assembly in enacting this | 114 |
section to increase public awareness and understanding of | 115 |
epilepsy. The general assembly considers it vitally important | 116 |
that the state join with the epilepsy foundation in formally | 117 |
designating November as "Epilepsy Awareness Month." According to | 118 |
the United States centers for disease control and prevention | 119 |
(CDC), epilepsy currently affects approximately 2.7 million | 120 |
Americans - roughly one of every one hundred individuals - with as | 121 |
many as 180,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Epilepsy afflicts | 122 |
people of all ages, but especially the very young and the | 123 |
elderly. The CDC estimates that about ten per cent of Americans | 124 |
will experience a seizure during their lifetime, and about three | 125 |
per cent will be diagnosed with epilepsy by age eighty. | 126 |
Sec. 5.2261. The month of November is designated as "Omega | 127 |
Psi Phi Month." | 128 |
Sec. 5.2262. The twenty-first of December is designated | 129 |
"Homeless Persons' Memorial Day" to bring attention to the tragedy | 130 |
of homelessness. State and local governments, coalitions, and | 131 |
other entities are encouraged to sponsor events to promote | 132 |
awareness of the plight of the homeless and to identify actions | 133 |
that individuals and organizations may take to address the | 134 |
problem of homelessness. | 135 |

the Veteran" to recognize the services and sacrifices of veterans. | 137 |

designated by federal law. | 140 |

Ohio national guard may apply to the registrar of motor vehicles | 142 |
