The Wyoming Anti-SLAPP Act aims to provide immunity from lawsuits that infringe upon individuals' constitutional rights to freedom of petition, expression, and speech, particularly in matters of public concern. The bill establishes a framework for qualified immunity, allowing individuals to dismiss claims that are based on their exercise of these rights. It outlines procedures for invoking this immunity, including the ability to appeal denials of immunity motions and the provision for counterclaims if the initial claims are found to be without merit. The act emphasizes the importance of protecting constitutional rights and aims to resolve related litigation swiftly and with minimal costs.

Additionally, the bill allows individuals to pursue separate actions or counterclaims if they are subjected to strategic lawsuits in other jurisdictions that do not recognize the immunity provided by this act. It stipulates that individuals who successfully invoke immunity may recover costs and attorney fees, and those who prevail in related actions may be entitled to statutory damages. The act applies to all actions within Wyoming and, where applicable, to federal and foreign jurisdictions, ensuring broad protection for individuals against strategic lawsuits aimed at silencing public participation.
