Protects student speech in school-sponsored media unless it is libelous, an invasion of privacy, or incites unlawful acts.

The bill, known as the "student journalism education act," ensures student journalists have the right to free speech and press in school-sponsored media, regardless of financial support or classroom context. It prohibits retaliation against student media advisors or employees who protect student speech. Political expression in school media is not considered public funds use for political purposes. Exemptions include libelous, privacy-invading, illegal, or incitement-causing speech.
