________

The committee on House Invitations 
and Memorial Resolutions

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 
4573) to request the Department of Transportation name the portion of United 
States Highway 76 in Laurens County from the Laurens/Greenville County line to South 
Carolina, etc., respectfully

Report:

That they have duly and carefully considered 
the same, and recommend that the same do pass:

 DENNIS MOSS for Committee.

_______

A concurrent RESOLUTION

to request the Department of Transportation name the 
portion of United States Highway 76 in Laurens County from the 
Laurens/Greenville County line to South Carolina Highway 101 "Charlie Kirk 
Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs containing these 
words.

Whereas, Charles 
"Charlie" James Kirk, born October 14, 1993, in Arlington Heights, Illinois, was 
the son of Robert and Kathryn Kirk. His life was tragically cut short in an act 
of violence on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University; and

Whereas, he was the 
beloved husband of Erika Kirk, and the devoted father to their daughter and 
son, exemplifying the virtues of faith, fidelity, and family; and

Whereas, Charlie Kirk, 
founded Turning Point USA in 2012, a student movement with the mission to 
identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of 
fiscal responsibility, free markets, and limited government; and

Whereas, he was one of 
the most prominent voices in America, engaging in civil discourse across 
college campuses, media platforms, and national forums, seeking to elevate 
truth, foster understanding, and strengthen our nation; and

Whereas, Charlie Kirk 
personified the values of the First Amendment, exercising his right to speak 
freely, challenge prevailing narratives, and did so with honor and courage; and

Whereas, his commitment 
to civil discussion and debate stood as a model for all Americans across the 
political spectrum; and

Whereas, his 
assassination was a heinous act of violence and a reminder of the growing 
threat posed by hatred in our society; and

Whereas, it would be 
fitting and proper to honor this great American by having a highway in Laurens 
County dedicated in his memory. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the 
South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of 
Transportation name the portion of United States Highway 76 in Laurens County 
from the Laurens/Greenville County line to South Carolina Highway 101 "Charlie 
Kirk Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs containing these 
words.

Be it further resolved that 
a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
