SB 404 Ohio Senate · 136th Legislature (2025-2026)

Designate Jesse Jackson Day

This bill proposes adding a new section to the state's Revised Code to officially designate October 8 as "Jesse Jackson Day." The legislation directly affects the state by establishing a formal holiday in honor of Jesse Jackson, a civil rights activist born on that date. The key mechanism is the addition of a specific code section that recognizes Jackson's contributions to civil rights. Once enacted, this change would allow for the observance of the day as a state-sanctioned commemoration.
