Senate adopts HJR 7‑11 after tributes to Charlie Kirk
Summary
On third and final consideration the Senate adopted House Joint Resolution 7‑11; senators offered brief remarks—some expressing disagreement with rhetoric but support for honoring a life—before the resolution passed by constitutional majority.
The Senate took up House Joint Resolution 7‑11 on third and final consideration and debated tributes to Charlie Kirk. Senator Kyle said she did not agree with Kirk's rhetoric but still planned to support the resolution, calling for “no politics over death.” Senator Rose delivered extended remarks describing Kirk's life, his founding of Turning Point USA, and his evangelical commitments, saying Kirk "was 31 years old when he was assassinated" and offering condolences to his family as part of the memorial text read on the floor.
After discussion concluded, the clerk took the vote; the clerk declared the resolution adopted, having received a constitutional majority, and the motion to reconsider was tabled. The floor record shows the resolution was taken up and passed during the session; the transcript does not reflect any amendments or roll‑call breakdown beyond the clerk's announcement of adoption by constitutional majority.
