Florida bill would force universities to rename roads for Charlie Kirk
Florida state Rep. Kevin Steele filed HB 113, a bill that would require each of the state's public colleges and universities to redesignate specified roadways as 'Charlie James Kirk [Drive/Road]' and authorizes the state to withhold state funding from any institution whose board of trustees fails to comply within 90 days. The proposal names specific campuses (for example, New College of Florida and the University of Florida) and cites local precedent after Lake County recently dedicated a stretch as 'Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway.'
