CA SB1381

Declares publicly accessible outdoor areas of University of California, California State University, and California Community College campuses as traditional public forums for free expression under the First Amendment and California Constitution.

Permits institutions to enforce only reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions that are narrowly tailored to serve significant institutional interests, content-neutral, viewpoint-neutral, and allow ample alternative means of expression including spontaneous literature distribution and assembly.

Allows persons to engage in expressive activity on campus freely as long as conduct is lawful and does not materially and substantially disrupt the institution's functioning or lawful activities of others.

Authorizes the Attorney General or affected individuals to sue for violations within one year, with courts awarding minimum $500 damages plus $50 per day for ongoing violations, capped at $5,000 total per case or controversy.

Repeals all enforcement and remedy provisions on January 1, 2024.
