Bill > HJR12

This joint resolution designates a specific section of Kentucky Route 18 in Boone County as the "Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway" to honor Charlie Kirk, who was tragically assassinated. The resolution highlights Kirk's role as a prominent conservative voice who inspired young Americans, co-founded and led Turning Point USA, a national organization focused on conservative principles, and was a widely recognized media figure and author. It further emphasizes his advocacy for free speech, his Christian faith, and his commitment to challenging prevailing narratives, ultimately portraying him as a martyr for truth and liberty. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is directed to erect appropriate signage for this designation within 30 days of the resolution's effective date.
