	Karen Carter Peterson on Civil Rights

Opposed state policy on free expression at colleges

HB269: Proposed law provided for a state policy on free expression on public postsecondary education institution campuses.

Analysis by the Baton Rouge Advocate: The legislation ensures the free speech of controversial speakers on state college campuses and penalizes students who disrupt it. The legislation would direct colleges to spell out policies that would prevent students, outside speakers or others from being shouted down because of unpopular views.

Veto message by Gov. Edwards: This bill is a solution in search of a problem that creates a long, detailed structure for the evaluation of the freedom of expression on college campuses. However, this bill is unnecessary and overly burdensome to our colleges and universities as the freedoms this bill attempts to protect are already well-established.

Legislative Outcome:Passed House 66-26-13 on 5/24/17; Passed Senate 30-2-6 on 6/7/17; State Sen. Peterson voted NO; Vetoed by Governor on 6/26/17
