May 23rd – Crohn's and Colitis Awareness Day in Ohio
On Thursday, June 12, 2008, the 127th Ohio General Assembly passed an amendment to House Bill No. 150 (HB150) that reads "The twenty-third day of May is designated as "Crohn's and Colitis Awareness Day." The bill was led by State Representative Jim McGregor and was signed by Ohio Governor Ted Strickland. The bill also encourages retail establishments to allow customers with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, to use their restrooms that are not generally accessible for public use and to limit the liability of an establishment that allows such access.
The Central Ohio CCFA chapter staff would like to thank all of the supporters, including UCB, Inc., who worked so hard on passing this bill for patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. This is a great stride for gaining respect and support and a huge step in increasing the education of the effects of these life-altering diseases. Congratulations on a job well done!
