HB 871 Ohio House · 136th Legislature (2025-2026)

Designate Gun Violence Awareness Month

HB 871 proposes adding a new section to the state's Revised Code to officially designate the month of June as "Gun Violence Awareness Month." This legislative action directly affects state statutes by formally recognizing the month with a specific title. The bill does not alter existing laws regarding gun ownership, sales, or penalties, nor does it allocate funding or create new programs. Its primary function is symbolic, aiming to increase public awareness about gun violence during the designated period.
