Suspending limitations on conference committee jurisdiction on S.B. No. 2972.
This Senate Resolution (SR 708) suspends specific Senate Rules to allow a conference committee working on Senate Bill 2972 to make minor wording adjustments. It permits the committee to remove the phrase "[content-neutral,]" and replace it with "content-neutral," in the Education Code, clarifying that restrictions on expressive activities at public universities must be content-neutral. It also allows the committee to omit an unnecessary "and" at the end of a section. The changes are purely procedural to finalize agreed-upon language in S.B. 2972, which addresses expressive activities at public higher education institutions.
