The bill establishes October 14 of each year as "Charlie Kirk Day of Remembrance" in honor of Charlie Kirk's contributions to free speech, civil dialogue, and civic engagement. It creates a new section in the Florida Statutes, specifically section 683.338, which outlines the designation of this day and authorizes the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing it. The bill highlights Kirk's dedication to promoting individual liberty, open debate, and constitutional principles, particularly within educational settings.
The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, following its passage. It acknowledges Kirk's impact on civic education and youth leadership, as well as the profound loss felt by the community after his death on September 10, 2025. The bill aims to honor his legacy and encourage ongoing civic participation among Floridians.
