Bill overview
The Free Speech Protection Act aims to combat ‘strategic lawsuits against public participation’ (SLAPP), which are lawsuits filed to silence or intimidate individuals engaged in constitutionally protected activities. It establishes a process for dismissing these lawsuits, primarily through a ‘special motion to dismiss,’ and provides for potential attorney’s fees and costs for the prevailing party. The bill seeks to protect individuals and organizations involved in matters of public concern from being subjected to meritless litigation designed to stifle their speech.
