This bill would designate a specific stretch of H Street Northwest in Washington, DC—between Connecticut Avenue Northwest and Vermont Avenue Northwest—as "Charlie Kirk Patriot Way." It requires the District of Columbia to install four street signs bearing the new name at specified locations and to ensure that any reference in federal laws, maps, regulations, and other records to that area uses the new designation. The provision for signs specifies exact placement above existing signs at particular intersections and requires signs to match standard DC design. The bill does not include funding details, so the District would be responsible for any costs associated with the signage.
