Education, Higher - As enacted, enacts the "Charlie Kirk Act." - Amends TCA Title 49.

HB 1476, known as the "Charlie Kirk Act," requires all Tennessee public universities to adopt and post two specific policies from the University of Chicago: its 2014 free expression policy and its 1967 Kalven Report on the university's role in political action. The law mandates that institutions incorporate these exact policies into their bylaws and website content, emphasizing free speech protections and the university's non-partisan role in social issues. It specifies that institutions must include verbatim passages from both documents, such as the Chicago policy's stance against suppressing speech due to offense and the Kalven Report's principle that universities should not take collective political positions. Failure to comply could result in legal action via writ of mandamus or injunction.
