Summary

The bill adds people who file good‑faith reports of sexual offenses, harassment or discrimination to New Jersey's anti‑SLAPP protections. It allows courts to quickly stay related lawsuits and dismiss meritless claims, and lets prevailing parties recover fees and damages. The goal is to deter retaliation against victims who come forward.
