SB 408 Ohio Senate · 136th Legislature (2025-2026)

Designate Benjamin Harrison Day

This bill proposes adding a new section to the state code to officially designate August 20 as "Benjamin Harrison Day." The measure directly affects the state's legal framework by recognizing the birth date of President Benjamin Harrison, who was born in North Bend, Ohio. The primary mechanism is the creation of a specific holiday title in the Revised Code to honor the former president. No changes to public holidays, school schedules, or government operations are included in this text.
