HCR 15 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

urging Congress to pass federal legislation promoting greater media accountability as a way to honor the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

This is a concurrent resolution (not a bill), not a law. It urges Congress to create a "Charlie Kirk Act" to hold media accountable for spreading misinformation about Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist. The resolution incorrectly references a "Charlie Kirk shooting" (Kirk is a living activist), and cites the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 as a concern, though it has no legal effect. As a symbolic gesture, it directs New Hampshire's legislature to send this resolution to federal officials but does not propose any actual policy changes.
