AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure safe and healthy public higher education campuses. It requires public institutions of higher education to implement comprehensive COVID-19 testing and contact tracing programs, provide personal protective equipment to employees and students, and maintain adequate ventilation in campus buildings, including enhanced measures during a declared pandemic. The bill also establishes health and safety committees at each campus to assess and address health and safety concerns. The costs associated with these measures are to be covered by available state or federal funds, not the operating budgets of the institutions.
