Florida House approves Charlie Kirk remembrance day, street renaming proposal
TALLAHASSEE — The “Charlie Kirk bill” is continuing to move through the Florida Legislature, with the Senate version still advancing from committee to committee.
Meanwhile, the full Florida House voted on its proposal Wednesday.
In an 82-31 vote, the House passed House Bill 125, which would designate Oct. 14 as “Charlie Kirk Day of Remembrance.”
During a heated floor debate, lawmakers were sharply divided over whether Kirk is deserving of the tribute in Florida.
Kirk was shot and killed last September while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University. The alleged shooter surrendered the day after the assassination.
That was one of two measures related to Kirk approved by the House on Wednesday.
