This bill amends Title 42 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically focusing on the rights and immunities related to public expression and participation in matters of public significance. The amendments emphasize the importance of encouraging participation, particularly in the disclosure of sexual offenses, while protecting individuals from potential abuse of the judicial process. The definition of "protected public expression" is expanded to include not only communications in various proceedings and the exercise of free speech rights but also the communication of allegations of abuse or sexual violence, provided such communications are not malicious.

Additionally, the bill clarifies exclusions from the subchapter's application in civil actions, specifically removing references to certain chapters related to protection from abuse and sexual violence, while retaining the applicability of The Insurance Company Law of 1921. These changes aim to enhance the legal framework surrounding public expression and ensure that individuals can engage in discussions about significant issues without fear of legal repercussions. The act is set to take effect 90 days after its passage.
