HB 848 Ohio House · 136th Legislature (2025-2026)

Designate September as Celebrate HBCU Month

HB 848 designates the month of September as "Celebrate HBCU Month" to honor historically black colleges and universities. The bill achieves this by adding a new section to the state's Revised Code, which officially recognizes the period for celebration. This legislative action directly affects state records and official designations but does not create new funding or change existing laws. It is a symbolic measure intended to highlight the significance of HBCUs during September.
