This bill establishes legal protections for communications regarding incidents of sexual assault, harassment, or discrimination, creating a framework for expedited relief in defamation cases related to such communications. It defines key terms, including "communication," "cyber sexual bullying," and "sexual harassment," and specifies that individuals who have a reasonable basis to file a complaint regarding these issues are protected from libel or slander claims if their communications are made without malice. The bill allows defendants in these cases to seek expedited review of defamation actions and entitles prevailing defendants to recover attorney fees, noneconomic damages, punitive damages, and other legal relief.

Additionally, the bill outlines the process for filing a special motion for expedited relief, which must be done within 60 days of being served with a relevant cause of action. This motion stays all other proceedings between the parties until a ruling is made, and the court is required to hold a hearing on the motion within the same timeframe unless otherwise ordered. The court must dismiss the cause of action if the responding party fails to establish a prima facie case or if the moving party demonstrates that the responding party has not stated a valid cause of action. The bill also provides for the awarding of costs and attorney fees to the prevailing party in these motions.
