HB 5336 is a technical amendment to the Speech Rights of Student Journalists Act (105 ILCS 80/1). It corrects the short title citation by adding "the" before "Speech Rights of Student Journalists Act" in Section 1, aligning it with the law's official citation format. This bill does not change any policy or protections for student journalists; it only fixes a clerical error in how the law is referenced in legal documents. The amendment has no direct impact on students, schools, or journalistic rights. The bill was filed on February 5, 2026, and referred to the Rules Committee.
