Authorizing the use of the rotunda of the Capitol for the lying in honor of the remains of the late Charles James Kirk, a lifelong advocate for freedom of speech, civil political discourse, and the political engagement of youth.

This bill (HCONRES 48) is a ceremonial resolution authorizing the use of the U.S. Capitol rotunda for a "lying in honor" ceremony for Charles James Kirk, a recognized advocate for free speech, civil discourse, and youth political engagement. It grants permission for his remains to be displayed in the rotunda, with timing and duration to be determined by the House Speaker, Senate President pro tempore, and the Capitol Architect. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but formally permits a traditional honor reserved for individuals who have made significant contributions to the nation. It affects no specific group or legislation, serving only as a commemorative gesture for Kirk's legacy.
