The Senate Resolution S.R. No. 708, adopted by the Texas Senate during the 89th Legislature on June 1, 2025, seeks to suspend certain provisions of Senate Rule 12.03 to allow a conference committee to address specific amendments to Senate Bill 2972, which pertains to expressive activities at public institutions of higher education. The resolution permits the committee to make changes to the text of the bill that are not in disagreement, specifically in proposed SECTION 2, to clarify that restrictions on expressive activities must utilize content-neutral criteria and to remove unnecessary language. The resolution outlines two specific amendments: first, it allows the committee to replace the phrase "[content-neutral,]" with "content-neutral," in amended Section 51.9315(d)(2) of the Education Code to enhance clarity regarding the criteria for expressive activity restrictions. Second, it permits the omission of the word "and" at the end of the same section to eliminate redundant language. The resolution was passed with a vote of 22 in favor and 9 against.
