HB 401 Ohio House · 136th Legislature (2025-2026)

Designate Myositis Awareness Month

HB 401 would officially designate May as "Myositis Awareness Month" in Ohio by adding section 5.2323 to the Revised Code. This symbolic recognition aims to increase public awareness about myositis, a rare inflammatory muscle disease affecting muscle strength and function. The bill does not create new regulations, funding requirements, or obligations for individuals or businesses - it solely establishes a formal state designation for awareness efforts during May.
