AN ACT CONCERNING FREE SPEECH ON CAMPUSES OF INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION.
SB 160 requires all public colleges and universities in the state to adopt campus free speech policies that comply with federal and state constitutional protections. The bill mandates that these policies explicitly align with existing free speech rights, without restricting protected expression. It directly affects every institution of higher education receiving state funding, ensuring their speech policies meet constitutional standards. The law does not change speech rules but requires institutions to formally document policies meeting legal requirements.
