Anti SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) Committee

 

The Crosstown has been working since 2014  with Senator Larry Farnese to pass legislation in Harrisburg providing protection to our civic association members from “SLAPP” lawsuits (Strategic Lawsuits to Limit Public Participation).  The Bill passed in the Pennsylvania Senate in 2015 but was not reported out of the House Judiciary Committee in 2016 when the legislative session ended. It has been reintroduced in both the House and the Senate in 2017.
