The bill proposes a new section to chapter 28B.10 of the Revised Code of Washington, which explicitly prohibits public institutions of higher education from mandating that students live on campus or in university residence hall facilities. This legislative change aims to provide students with greater flexibility in their housing choices while attending college.
By adding this provision, the bill seeks to ensure that students are not compelled to reside in on-campus accommodations, potentially allowing them to explore alternative living arrangements that may better suit their personal circumstances and financial situations.
