flag Michigan passes bill to block SLAPP lawsuits that target free speech, sending it to the Senate.

flag The Michigan House has passed a bill to combat SLAPP suits—lawsuits used to silence critics by imposing high legal costs. flag The measure, sponsored by Rep. Kara Hope (D-Holt), allows defendants to request an expedited court review to dismiss cases seen as targeting free speech before discovery begins. flag It includes protections for individuals and groups facing powerful entities, including government bodies, and excludes routine business disputes and civil rights claims. flag The bipartisan legislation now moves to the state Senate.
