FL S1234

Establishes the "Campus Free Expression Act" requiring public institutions of higher education to allow students, faculty, and staff to engage in expressive activities (protests, speeches, petitions, recordings) freely in outdoor campus areas without prior approval, provided conduct is lawful and does not materially disrupt normal operations.

Prohibits public universities and colleges from designating "free speech zones" or restricting expressive activities to specific campus areas; permits only content-neutral, reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions that are narrowly tailored to institutional interests.

Authorizes the Attorney General or aggrieved individuals to sue institutions for willful violations, with damages of at least $500 per violation or compensatory damages capped at $100,000 per case, plus court costs and attorney fees.

Requires student government associations to provide written explanations for funding decisions to recognized student organizations and maintain a publicly accessible website record of all funding requests, awards, and explanations.

Establishes a one-year statute of limitations for filing suit, with each day a violation persists constituting a new violation and new accrual date.
