"Freedom of Speech Protection Act"; create.

Summary

The bill lets a party quickly move to dismiss a civil claim that arises from speaking in or about a legislative, executive, judicial, or other governmental proceeding, unless the claim is against a government entity or involves commercial advertising. It sets 60‑day deadlines for filing the motion, stays the case while the motion is decided, and provides an automatic right to appeal. The measure is intended to safeguard First Amendment‑type rights in Mississippi.
