Current status: HB 5554 and HB 6041, both sponsored by Rep. Doug Dubitsky, were introduced in the House of Representatives in January. Both bills broadly protect student speech from censorship, except in certain circumstances. SPLC is working with the sponsor to ensure the protects specifically protect the content of student publications.
