Holidays and Days of Special Observance - As introduced, designates September 10 of each year as "Charlie Kirk Day." - Amends TCA Title 15, Chapter 2.
SB 1943 designates September 10 of each year as "Charlie Kirk Day" in Tennessee to honor the late Charles Kirk, a public figure who co-founded Turning Point USA and was assassinated in 2025. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 15, Chapter 2, to add this day to the state's calendar of special observances. It does not create new laws, allocate funding, or affect any legal rights or obligations. This is a purely ceremonial designation with no substantive policy impact.
