Florida Republican unveils bill threatening state funding if colleges don't rename roads after Charlie Kirk [View all]
Florida state Rep. Kevin Steele (R) filed a bill Tuesday that threatens state funding to public universities and colleges if they do not rename specific roads after conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The bill points to specific roads at campuses Steele wants colleges to rename after Kirk, who was assassinated last month while speaking on a college campus in Utah.
If a campus does not comply, the bill says state funding will be withheld from the institution.
If passed, the bill would be set to go into law immediately instead of the typical July 1 date for most such Florida measures. Once the law goes into effect, a university would have 90 days to rename the road before funding would be cut.
