The "Wyoming Anti-SLAPP Act" is a new legislative measure aimed at providing immunity from lawsuits that infringe upon individuals' constitutional rights of freedom of petition, expression, and speech, particularly in matters of public concern. The act establishes a framework for qualified immunity, allowing individuals to dismiss claims that are based on their exercise of these rights. It specifies that immunity can be invoked at any time, and if a motion to dismiss based on this immunity is denied, the individual may bring a counterclaim. The act also outlines procedures for filing motions to dismiss, including timelines and requirements for evidence, and ensures that if a person successfully invokes immunity, they are entitled to recover costs and attorney fees.

Additionally, the act allows individuals who are subject to strategic lawsuits in other jurisdictions to seek recourse in Wyoming if they prevail in those lawsuits. It provides for statutory damages and compensatory damages for those who successfully assert their rights under this act. The provisions of the act apply broadly to all actions within Wyoming and, where applicable, to federal courts and foreign jurisdictions. The act is set to take effect immediately upon its passage.
