Addressing encampments at institutions of higher education.

HB 2589 would require advance notice (21 days) for any encampment on Washington state college campuses, limiting such requests to registered student organizations or recognized bargaining units seeking academic purposes. Campuses must approve or deny requests based on time, place, and manner to avoid disrupting education, and unauthorized encampments must be immediately dismantled with potential criminal trespass charges. Individuals violating the rules face removal, campus disciplinary action for students, and liability for all costs related to removal and property damage. The bill applies to all Washington institutions of higher education as defined by state law.
