A republican Illinois lawmaker has introduced a bill to permanently honor the life and legacy of Illinois native Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed on September 10.
State Senator Neil Anderson says the legislation would amend the State Commemorative Dates Act to recognize September 10 each year as “Charlie Kirk Day” in Illinois.
By establishing Charlie Kirk Day, Anderson says the legislation seeks to give Illinoisans a moment each year to reflect on his values, his contributions to public discourse, and the continuing importance of protecting our constitutional rights.
Senate Bill 2694 is now awaiting a committee assignment.
