Governor Murphy Signs Bipartisan Bill Protecting Against Lawsuits Designed to Suppress Free Speech
Issues: Constitution Judicial Branch
"For far too long, the powerful have abused the justice system to suppress free speech through illegitimate lawsuits. By pursuing meritless court cases, these powerful parties aim to silence their critics by making it impossible for those with fewer resources to spend the time and money necessary to legally defend themselves. This law will expedite the process to get these cases dismissed on behalf of the journalists, small businesses, activists, and countless others who have been unfairly targeted by these lawsuits over the years."
