Bill overview
This bill extends anti-SLAPP protections in New Jersey to individuals who report sexual assault, harassment, or discrimination. It shields these complainants from lawsuits intended to silence them, particularly regarding reports made in good faith. The bill also allows for the recovery of damages, court costs, and attorney’s fees if a SLAPP suit is dismissed. It builds upon existing anti-SLAPP legislation to better protect vulnerable individuals.
