: The Faculty LoungeFederal Anti-SLAPP Legislation Introduced In The House
By firstamendmentblogger
HR 4364 was introduced last week by Tenn Rep. Steve Cohen, and referred to the House Judiciary Committee for consideration. The Citizen Participation Act would be the first anti-SLAPP law that applies to federal cases, though 28 states have similar statutes. The act would provide immunity for defendants who engage in protected First Amendment activity, and includes a fee-shifting mechanism to discourage frivolous lawsuits.
