Congressman Steve Cohen (D.-Tennessee) has introduced H.R. 4364, The Citizen Participation Act, which he described as federal anti-SLAPP legislation, legislation designed to prevent meritless lawsuits. A SLAPP suit is “Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation.” California has such legislation. See Cal. Code Civ. Proc. 425.16.
