Relating to expressive activities at public institutions of higher education.

Contracts

• Speaker Agreements: Must include a "Compliance Rider" allowing cancellation without penalty if the event falls within the newly mandated "Quiet Period" (last two weeks of a semester) or violates statutory prohibitions.
• Security Vendor MSAs: Master Services Agreements must be amended to require vendor training on specific enforcement triggers (camping, masking, ID checks) and indemnification for failure to enforce these statutory bans.
• Student Housing: Contracts must explicitly reference the ban on "camping or erecting tents" in common outdoor areas to close tenancy loopholes.

Hiring/Training

• Security Protocols: Campus police and private security must be retrained on the "Intent to Obstruct" standard for mask removal and the specific 10:00 PM – 8:00 AM curfew enforcement.
• Event Scheduling Staff: Staff managing Event Management Systems (EMS) must be trained to enforce the hard blackout period for external speakers and amplified sound during the final two weeks of each semester.

Reporting & Record-Keeping

• Board Minutes: Institutions must retain documentation of the Governing Board's majority vote approving the new policy.
• Public Forum Maps: A digitized, publicly accessible map designating "public forums" must be created and posted to the institution's website to support enforcement actions.
• Website Posting: The full text of the approved policy must be prominently displayed on the institution’s website immediately upon adoption.

Fees & Costs

• No New State Fees: The bill does not introduce state-level fees.
• Insurance Premiums: Institutions should anticipate potential increases in Employment Practices Liability (EPLI) and Law Enforcement Liability premiums due to the mandate for disciplinary sanctions and mask enforcement.
