❌ HB494
Designate Road Traffic Victims Day of Remembrance
Current Status: In House Committee (Transportation)
Summary
This bill designates the third Sunday in November as 'Road Traffic Victims Day of Remembrance' to honor individuals killed or seriously injured in road traffic incidents in Ohio, while promoting road safety and support for victims and their families.
Rationale
The bill promotes a government-sanctioned observance, which may conflict with the Libertarian principles of limited government intervention and individual autonomy. It does not align with the LP or LPO emphasis on personal liberty and minimal government involvement in personal matters.
Risks and Concerns
- Encourages government involvement in personal remembrance practices
- Potentially diverts resources from more pressing issues
- May set a precedent for further government-sanctioned observances
