Senate bill would designate week including March 22 as Ohio Doula Awareness Week
Summary
S.B. No. 267, introduced for the 136th General Assembly, would add Section 5.2322 to the Ohio Revised Code to designate the calendar week that includes March 22 as "Ohio Doula Awareness Week." The bill text lists sponsors and cosponsors but includes no funding or implementation details in the provided text.
A bill introduced in the Ohio Senate would add section 5.2322 to the Ohio Revised Code to designate the calendar week that includes March 22 as "Ohio Doula Awareness Week," according to the text filed for the 136th General Assembly.
The measure, S.B. No. 267 (2025-2026), lists Senators Craig and Reynolds as sponsors and Senators Ingram, Weinstein and Smith as cosponsors. The provided text is limited to the statutory designation and does not include provisions for funding, programs, or implementation details.
The bill's enacted-language reads: "The calendar week including the twenty-second day of March is designated as 'Ohio Doula Awareness Week.'" That single sentence is the entirety of proposed section 5.2322 as shown in the filing.
The document identifies the proposal as part of the 136th General Assembly and is captioned as introduced S.B. No. 267. The provided file does not show any committee referral, vote, or additional legislative steps.
Senate offices or bill sponsors were not identified by given names in the filing beyond the surnames listed on the cover; the text supplied does not indicate whether the designation would create reporting requirements, guidelines for observance, or change existing statutes.
Because the submitted text contains only the designation language, any questions about implementation, funding, or required actions by state agencies would depend on later amendments or companion language not included in the provided document.
