SR 43 Ohio Senate · 136th Legislature (2025-2026)

Honoring the Ohio Department of Agriculture during March 2025 as National Agriculture Month.

This bill (SR 43) is a ceremonial resolution honoring the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) during March 2025 as part of National Agriculture Month. It does not create new laws or policies but formally commends the ODA for its work in food safety, supporting Ohio farmers, and promoting agricultural economic opportunities. The resolution urges Ohio citizens to participate in activities celebrating agriculture and directs the Senate Clerk to send a copy to the ODA. It directly affects the ODA (as the honoree) and Ohio residents (as the audience for the call to action). The bill has no binding effect beyond this symbolic recognition.
