This bill proposes the adoption of the Uniform Public Expression Protection Act in Nebraska, which aims to safeguard the rights of individuals to engage in public expression without fear of legal repercussions. The act establishes definitions for key terms such as "goods or services," "governmental unit," and "person," and outlines the circumstances under which the act applies to civil actions related to public expression. It also provides a mechanism for parties to file a special motion for expedited relief to dismiss claims that fall under the act, with specific procedures for stays of proceedings and timelines for court hearings.

Additionally, the bill repeals several existing statutes related to public petition and participation, specifically sections 25-21,241 through 25-21,246 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska. It emphasizes that the Uniform Public Expression Protection Act should be broadly construed to protect constitutional rights and aims to promote uniformity in the application of the law across states. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage, and it includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the act is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions will still stand.
