The resolution, H.R. No. 1515, proposes a partial suspension of House Rule 13, Section 9(a) 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 outlines two key changes that the committee is authorized to make.
Firstly, the committee is permitted to amend the text in proposed SECTION 2 of the bill by clarifying that restrictions on expressive activities must be content-neutral. This involves striking the phrase "[content-neutral,]" and replacing it with "content-neutral," to ensure clarity in the legislation. Secondly, the committee is allowed to omit unnecessary language at the end of the same section by removing the word "and." These amendments aim to enhance the clarity and effectiveness of the bill regarding the regulation of expressive activities in educational settings.
