Summary — HB 5114 (2025): Designate October 14 as "Charlie Kirk Day"

Main purpose

HB 5114 is a one‑section bill that designates October 14 of each year as "Charlie Kirk Day." The bill is symbolic in nature and creates a new statutory provision declaring the annual observance.

Key provisions

  • Declares that “October 14 of each year shall be known as ‘Charlie Kirk Day’.” (Single-section bill.)
  • The bill text does not specify duties, funding, penalties, or required actions by state agencies beyond the designation.
  • Labeled as creating a new act; the text consists only of the declaration.

Sponsors and filing

  • House sponsors listed on the introduced text: Reps. Joseph Pavlov, Kelly, Smit, Linting, Rigas, Woolford, Schriver, Bierlein, and DeBoyer.
  • Filed/introduced entries appear on two dates in the legislative record:
    • Filed: March 13, 2025 (initial entry).
    • Electronically reproduced/introduction: October 22, 2025 (House introduced bill text dated Oct. 22, 2025; read first time and referred same day).

Legislative status and timeline

  • 2025-03-13: Filed.
  • 2025-04-07: Read first time; referred to Public Health (record entry).
  • 2025-10-22: House introduction reproduced electronically; read first time and referred to Committee on Government Operations (Rep. Pavlov listed as introducer on this version).
  • As of the latest entry, the bill is pending committee consideration. Standard legislative steps remaining if it advances: committee hearings and vote, full House vote, consideration in the Senate, and governor’s signature to become law.

Who is affected / likely impact

  • The designation is largely ceremonial/symbolic. It would:
    • Create no new regulatory obligations, appropriations, or penalties within the bill text.
    • Potentially be used in state proclamations, observances, or agency communications recognizing the day.
    • Have minimal direct legal or fiscal impact on state government operations absent further implementing language.

Notes and considerations

  • The bill is brief and narrowly focused on naming an annual commemorative day; substantive policy or budgetary changes are not included.
  • The legislative record shows multiple procedural entries and committee referrals; readers tracking the bill should watch the committee of referral noted in the most recent entry (Committee on Government Operations) for hearings and votes.
