HR 353 Ohio House · 136th Legislature (2025-2026)

Recognizing Ohio Child Abuse Prevention Month, April 2026.

This bill, HR 353, is a commemorative resolution that formally recognizes April 2026 as Ohio Child Abuse Prevention Month. It does not create new laws or change existing policies but instead acknowledges the importance of preventing child abuse and neglect through public awareness. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House to send copies of the document to the Ohio Children's Trust Fund and Ohio news media to promote the observance. This measure is symbolic and aims to encourage community involvement in child safety initiatives rather than implementing concrete policy changes.
