Bill > SB125

This bill aims to protect free speech rights at state-supported institutions of higher education in Arkansas. It establishes that state-supported universities cannot limit or restrict the expression of members of the campus community based on the viewpoint or reaction to that expression, except as permitted by the First Amendment. The bill allows universities to impose reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions on expression in campus forums, as long as those restrictions are content-neutral and leave open alternative channels of communication. The bill also requires universities to promulgate policies that protect the free speech rights established in the bill and provide a grievance procedure for members of the campus community to address concerns.
