โŒ HB166

Designate Harriet Tubman Day

Current Status: In Senate Committee (Government Oversight and Reform)

Summary

This bill designates March 10 as 'Harriet Tubman Day' in Ohio, recognizing the contributions of Harriet Tubman. It enacts a new section in the Revised Code to formalize this designation.

Rationale

The bill does not align with the core principles of the Libertarian Party or the Libertarian Party of Ohio, as it involves government action to designate a commemorative day, which may be seen as unnecessary government involvement in cultural matters.

Risks and Concerns

  • Potential for increased government involvement in cultural recognition
  • May set a precedent for further government designations
