WA HB2589

Prohibits camping on Washington higher education campuses unless authorized through a formal request process requiring 21 days advance notice

Limits encampment eligibility to registered student organizations in good standing or recognized bargaining units, with all permitted encampments required to serve an academic purpose

Institutions may approve or deny requests based on time, place, or manner using content-neutral criteria to prevent disruption to educational activities

Violations trigger mandatory institutional response: directing immediate dismantlement, warning of criminal trespass charges, reporting to law enforcement, and initiating student disciplinary action

Individuals are personally liable for all direct and indirect costs of unauthorized encampments, including removal, campus restoration, and property damage repairs
