Designate Devo Day
HB 866 designates April 18 as 'Devo Day' to honor the band Devo from Akron, Ohio. This change adds a new section to the state's Revised Code to officially recognize the date in the state calendar. The bill aims to commemorate the band's influence on new wave music and their historical connection to Kent State University. It does not alter any laws or funding, but rather establishes a commemorative designation.
