The bill H. 4609 proposes to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding a new section, 53-3-320, which designates October 14th of each year as "Charlie Kirk Day." This designation honors Charlie Kirk, who was born on October 14, 1993, and was tragically assassinated on September 10, 2025. The bill highlights Kirk's influence as a prominent voice for conservative principles, his role as the founder of Turning Point USA, and his advocacy for free speech, equal opportunity, and traditional values.

The bill emphasizes Kirk's legacy as a modern civil rights leader and a champion of First Amendment rights, portraying him as a martyr for truth and faith. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor, formalizing the recognition of Charlie Kirk's contributions to civic discourse and conservative activism in South Carolina.
