A BILL
To enact section 5.2267 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 5.2267 of the Revised Code be enacted
to read as follows:
Sec. 5.2267. 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 declaring 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.
