MO SB1800

Students at Missouri public postsecondary institutions who engage in "materially and substantially disruptive conduct" on campus and are convicted of a criminal offense or found to have violated the institution's code of conduct lose eligibility for state financial aid for up to two academic years.

Disruptive conduct includes fighting, property damage, physically blocking access to events, occupying facilities without consent, prolonged harassment, and creating loud noise to prevent others from participating in meetings or classes.

Institutions must adopt policies prohibiting sound amplification during class hours, camping or erecting tents on campus, wearing masks to conceal identity during expressive activities, lowering U.S. or state flags to raise other flags, and expressive activities between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.

During the last two weeks of each semester, additional restrictions apply including bans on inviting speakers, using amplification devices, drums, or engaging in activities that materially disrupt institutional functioning in outdoor areas.

Students and employees must present proof of identity to peace officers on request, and institutions must establish disciplinary sanctions and grievance procedures, with final determinations referred to the Coordinating Board for Higher Education.
