Bill Summary

Postsecondary institutions; free expression policies

AI Summary

This bill amends Arizona state law to require public universities and community colleges to adopt free expression policies that protect student and faculty rights to engage in expressive activities on campus, subject to reasonable content-neutral restrictions. The bill defines "individual conduct that materially and substantially infringes on the rights of other persons to engage in or listen to expressive activity" and allows for disciplinary action against such conduct. It also requires the Arizona Board of Regents and community college district governing boards to establish committees on free expression and submit annual reports on free expression issues. Additionally, the bill mandates that universities and community colleges include information on free expression policies in their freshman orientation programs.
