Florida’s Free Speech Bill Is Back On

Campus Reform: A Florida free speech bill that would curb the heckler’s veto and ban free speech zones in Florida cleared a major hurdle Wednesday despite a previous setback.

The “Campus Free Expression Act” (SB 1234), sponsored by Republican State Senator Dennis Baxley, was voted down by the Senate Judiciary Committee in a vote of 6-4 last week, but was revived by the Post-Secondary Education Subcommittee Wednesday, which voted 18-1 to incorporate large portions of Baxley’s bill into a more comprehensive higher education bill, HB 423.

That bill, which focuses mainly on higher-education, will now include Baxley’s provisions on protecting free speech, eliminating “free speech zones,” limiting the heckler’s veto, and opening the door for First Amendment lawsuits against public institutions.  more
