Bill > H4573

This resolution requests the South Carolina Department of Transportation to rename a specific portion of United States Highway 76 in Laurens County as the "Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway" in honor of Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative political activist and founder of Turning Point USA who was tragically killed in 2025. The resolution provides background on Kirk's life, describing him as a dedicated family man and a significant voice in American political discourse who championed principles of fiscal responsibility, free markets, and limited government. The document highlights Kirk's commitment to civil dialogue and free speech, and frames his death as a heinous act of violence that underscores societal challenges. By dedicating this highway segment, the resolution seeks to memorialize Kirk's contributions and values, with the South Carolina General Assembly formally requesting the Department of Transportation to erect appropriate markers identifying the highway segment in his name, and further stipulating that a copy of the resolution be sent to the department.
