The Arizona Legislature has passed a bill with some bipartisan support that would prohibit encampments on college campuses.
HB 2880 comes after protesters against the Israel-Hamas war set up encampments on college campuses across the country last year.
Democratic Sen. Analise Ortiz opposes the bill.
“This bill will force campus police to enforce this prohibition even if they believe there is no current threat on campus to public safety,” Ortiz said.
The bill now heads to Gov. Katie Hobbs’ desk.
