Summary

The bill lets a party file a special motion to quickly dismiss a claim that arises from their protected public expression, such as speaking, publishing, or petitioning on matters of public concern. It pauses other litigation steps while the motion is considered and may award court costs and attorney fees to the moving party. The law applies except when the suit is against a government entity acting officially, a public‑health safety action, or a business dispute over sales.
