            House Bill 355 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to prohibit a person subject to sex offender registration from residing on the campus of a public or private institution of higher education unless the person is assigned a numeric risk level of one based on an assessment conducted using the sex offender screening tool and the institution approves the person to reside on the institution's campus.
