The resolution honors Charlie Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, who was assassinated on September 10, 2025, while advocating for free speech and civil discourse on college campuses. It expresses condemnation of his assassination and extends condolences to his family, recognizing Kirk's commitment to the values of the First Amendment and the importance of civil debate in society.

To commemorate his legacy, the resolution designates October 14, 2026, and every October 14 thereafter, as Charlie Kirk Free Speech Day in Kansas, coinciding with his birthday. The Legislature encourages the Governor to join in this recognition and invites all Kansans to celebrate the day by exercising their freedom of speech and engaging in civil discourse, thereby honoring Kirk's memory and promoting the principles he championed.
