A BILL
To enact section 5.2266 of the Revised Code to
designate October 13 as Metastatic Breast Cancer
Awareness Day.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 5.2266 of the Revised Code be enacted
to read as follows:
Sec. 5.2266. The thirteenth day of October is designated as
"Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day" to raise public awareness
and understanding of breast cancer that has spread through the
bloodstream to other parts of the body.
Section 2. In designating October 13 "Metastatic Breast
Cancer Awareness Day," the General Assembly recognizes that breast
cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer deaths among
American women and that the risk of breast cancer may be reduced
through healthy lifestyle choices. The General Assembly considers
public awareness of this devastating disease to be vitally
important to increase early detection and reduce the loss of life
to metastatic breast cancer. Further, the General Assembly
commends the efforts of Ohio's scientists and health professionals
in developing new technologies and treatments for metastatic
breast cancer and encourages them to continue these efforts and
their search for a cure for this aggressive disease.
