Florida Bill Proposes Renaming College Roads in Honor of Charlie Kirk
A new bill introduced in the Florida House seeks to rename certain roads on state college and university campuses after conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was tragically killed at Utah Valley University after being shot while addressing attendees.
Republican Representative Kevin Steele filed House Bill 113 (HB 113), which requires multiple Florida public colleges and universities to rename designated campus roadways for Kirk. Institutions that fail to comply within 90 days after the bill is signed by Governor Ron DeSantis would risk losing access to state funds.
Steele explained his motivation on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “My goal with this bill is to continue Charlie Kirk’s legacy through generations of students who will encounter diverse perspectives during their college years.”
The bill includes a list of campuses and specific roads that would be renamed to carry Kirk’s name, symbolizing his influence as a conservative voice in American political discourse.
Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was known for his outspoken conservative activism and work in student political engagement. He was killed during a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University after being shot while addressing attendees. Video footage showed the 31-year-old reaching for his neck moments after a gunshot rang out. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where officials confirmed his death and described the incident as a targeted attack.
If passed, HB 113 would ensure Kirk’s name remains visible across Florida’s educational landscape — a symbolic move reflecting ongoing debates about free speech and political identity on college campuses.
