Bill > H0125

This bill establishes October 14 as the "Charlie Kirk Day of Remembrance" in Florida, commemorating Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative activist and co-founder of Turning Point USA, a nonprofit organization focused on engaging young people in civic life. The bill, which will take effect on July 1, 2026, creates a new section in Florida Statutes that officially designates the date as a day of remembrance and allows the Governor to issue an annual proclamation marking the occasion. The bill's numerous whereas clauses highlight Kirk's contributions to free speech, civic education, youth leadership, and the promotion of individual liberties, noting his work in inspiring students and reaching millions of Americans through public speaking, writing, and media presence. The legislation appears to honor Kirk following his hypothetical death in September 2025, recognizing his impact on educational and civic discourse in Florida and nationally.
