Designate EMS week in Ohio
HB 311 designates the third full week of May each year as "EMS Week in Ohio" under Ohio law. This bill directly affects Ohio residents and emergency medical services (EMS) personnel by establishing a recognized period for public acknowledgment of their work. The key provision is the statutory designation of the specific week, creating no new policies or funding but formally honoring EMS contributions. As a ceremonial resolution, it has no direct impact on healthcare operations or regulations.
