The Illinois Legislature has passed the College Campus Press Act—a measure to ensure that college journalists will not be censored. The bill, SB0729, would effectively negate the effects of the 2005 Hotsy v. Carter decision, which opened the door to public college administrators imposing prior review and restraint on student newspapers if the publication is not a designated public forum for student expression. Similar legislation was also introduced this year in Washington and Oregon, and was passed last year in California.
