Proposed Procedures for Anti-SLAPP Actions

⚠️
PROPOSED LEGISLATIONThis bill has been introduced but has NOT been signed into law. Legislative proposals may be amended, passed, or fail to advance. This is not current law.

This proposed bill would establish procedures for anti-SLAPP actions in South Dakota. SLAPP stands for 'Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation,' which are lawsuits filed to intimidate, burden, or silence critics. The new procedures aim to protect individuals' constitutional rights, including freedom of speech. If enacted, this law would affect anyone who might face such lawsuits and provide them with a clearer path to defend themselves against frivolous legal actions.
