Extends anti-SLAPP protections to complainants of sexual assault, harassment, and discrimination.
May 28, 2026
Summary
If enacted, this bill would extend New Jersey's anti-SLAPP protections to individuals who file complaints of sexual assault, harassment, or discrimination. This means that defendants (such as employers, lenders, or service providers) could face greater difficulty in dismissing such complaints early and may be subject to expedited motions to strike and fee awards if they bring baseless counterclaims. The bill aims to protect complainants from retaliatory lawsuits intended to intimidate or silence them.
