Adopt the Uniform Public Expression Protection Act and eliminate provisions relating to actions involving public petition and participation

Summary

The bill would adopt the Uniform Public Expression Protection Act, which shields certain expressions of public concern from civil liability and creates a fast‑track procedure to dismiss such lawsuits. It applies to individuals and entities but excludes government units and businesses when the dispute stems from the sale or lease of goods or services. The measure also repeals existing Nebraska statutes that dealt with public petition and participation actions.
