Notice of Rule Making Hearning: WSR-26-19-035

An online hearing will be held on Thursday, October 29, 2026, from 1:30pm-2:30pm pacific, for the purpose of receiving comments from the public on proposed revisions to rules in the Washington Administrative Code. The rules are titled chapter 132H-142, Use of College Property for Expressive Activities.

Recent interest in expressive activity on the Bellevue College campus prompted a review of the public forum areas available to college and non-college groups. As part of that review, the College identified an opportunity to expand the spaces available for expressive activity beyond the two adjoining courtyard areas currently designated for this purpose. An additional space has been identified, providing greater flexibility for both college and non-college groups going forward. Specific references to overnight hours in “time, place, and manner” provisions will also be removed in light of recent legal cases involving universities in Texas and Indiana.

The hearing will be held on October 29th from 1:30-2:30pm. The hearing will be conducted using an online format, Microsoft Teams meeting.
