Texas Governor Greg Abbott has enacted SB 2972, a bill that restricts expressive activities on college campuses. This new legislation alters key protections established by a 2019 bill, removing the designation of common outdoor spaces as public forums and allowing college administrators to decide where demonstrations can occur. The law notably prohibits expressive activities between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m., a provision criticized by legal experts as unconstitutional and overly broad, potentially silencing a wide range of speech during those hours.
The new legislation, SB 2972, includes limitations on expressive activities on college campuses, granting college leaders control over public forum designations.
The bill restricts expressive activities from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m., potentially banning all forms of expression during those hours, raising constitutional concerns.
