SB 1188 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Definitions and general provisions; establishing Charlie Kirk Free Speech Day; requesting annual proclamation. Emergency.

SB 1188 designates October 14 each year as "Charlie Kirk Free Speech Day" in Oklahoma to commemorate the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who the bill describes as a free speech advocate and founder of Turning Point USA. The bill requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging Oklahomans to observe the day through educational events and ceremonies honoring Kirk's legacy. As a commemorative resolution, it does not create new laws or regulations but formally recognizes Kirk's contributions to free speech advocacy as stated in the bill's findings. The measure takes immediate effect due to an emergency declaration.
