Florida Bill Would Force Public Colleges to Rename Campus Roads for Charlie Kirk or Lose State Funding

The proposal identifies 40 specific campus routes with an immediate effective date if enacted.

Overview

  • Rep. Kevin Steele filed HB 113 directing every public university and college in Florida to redesignate a specified on‑campus roadway for Charlie James Kirk.
  • Institutions that do not comply within 90 days of the law taking effect would have state funds withheld, according to the bill text.
  • The measure targets prominent arteries such as Stadium Road at the University of Florida, Chieftain Way at Florida State, and Gemini Boulevard South at the University of Central Florida.
  • As filed, the legislation has no reported Senate companion, leaving its path uncertain ahead of the regular session beginning in January.
  • The bill follows other memorials in Florida, including Lake County’s Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway and New College of Florida’s plan to commission a statue.
