Tort Actions For Libel & Slander

This bill allows a person who successfully defends against a lawsuit for libel, slander, or invasion of privacy to recover damages, including triple damages and attorney fees, from the person who sued them. This applies if the lawsuit was based on a true statement made without bad intent about the defendant's experience with sexual assault, sexual harassment, or unlawful discrimination. The bill aims to protect individuals who speak truthfully about these experiences from retaliatory lawsuits.
