Summary

The bill would amend state education statutes to stop Florida College System schools and state universities from “shielding” students, faculty, or staff from uncomfortable or unpopular viewpoints, and it creates explicit academic‑freedom rights for those groups. It also extends those protections to the new Election Law Center at Florida State University. The measure failed to pass and died in committee.
