MI HB4435

Establishes the "Campus Free Speech Act" to protect free speech and assembly rights on Michigan public university and community/junior college campuses.

Defines "expressive conduct" to include peaceful assembly, protest, speech, literature distribution, sign carrying, petition circulation, and internet broadcasting in open campus areas.

Restricts public institutions of higher education from limiting expressive conduct in public campus areas unless the restriction is necessary for a compelling governmental interest, content/viewpoint neutral, leaves ample alternative opportunities, permits spontaneous assembly, and does not quarantine speech to specific zones.

Allows aggrieved individuals or the attorney general to sue for violations, recovering court costs, attorney fees, injunctive relief, and damages of at least $1,000 or actual damages, whichever is greater.

Establishes a 1-year statute of limitations for lawsuits, with the limitation period resetting daily while a violation persists or offending policy remains in effect.
