(The Senate concurring):
WHEREAS, The members of the 130th General Assembly of the State of Ohio are pleased to designate July 2014 as "Ohio Independent Business Month"; and
WHEREAS, According to 2009 data collected by the federal Small Business Administration, Ohio has over 880,000 small businesses; and
WHEREAS, Small businesses represent over 98% of all Ohio employers and employ 48% of the private sector workforce; and
