Bill Summary · SB 2694

Summary — SB 2694 (MS Pharmacy Practice Act; extend repealer on)

Status: Died in committee (record contains conflicting filing dates)

Note: The legislative record provided contains inconsistent dates (multiple entries in 2025 and an October 2025 filing). This summary presents the bill content and the procedural actions as supplied, and flags the inconsistent timeline below.

Purpose

SB 2694 would amend the State Commemorative Dates Act to designate September 10 of each year as "Charlie Kirk Day," a statewide commemorative day to honor the political activist described in the bill.

Key provision

  • Adds Section 197 to the State Commemorative Dates Act (5 ILCS 490/197 new) with the following effect:
    • Declares the tenth day of September of each year as "Charlie Kirk Day."
    • States the day is to be observed throughout Illinois "as a day set apart to honor the political activist who was born and raised in the State of Illinois and who dedicated his life, up to and until the very end of his life, to the free and open exchange of ideas."

Who/what would be affected

  • The designation is symbolic: it creates a commemorative date within state law.
  • No provisions in the bill create a paid state holiday, alter employment law, or mandate closures of state offices or schools.
  • Likely affected parties in practice: state and local governments, schools, community organizations, and civic groups that may choose to recognize or mark the day with events or proclamations.
  • No specific funding, program changes, regulatory actions, or enforcement mechanisms are included.

Fiscal and practical impact

  • The bill itself carries no direct appropriation or detailed implementation requirements. Any fiscal impact would likely be minimal and limited to voluntary observances (e.g., proclamations, ceremonies) funded from existing budgets.
  • Because it is a commemorative designation, it would not change statutory rights, benefits, or duties.

Sponsors and related legislation

  • Primary sponsor: Sen. Neil Anderson
  • Co-sponsors (added as chief co-sponsors): Sen. Jil Tracy and Sen. Andrew S. Chesney
  • Companion bill: HB 5092
