Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The GRANITE Act (Guaranteeing Rights Against Novel International Tyranny and Extortion Act) prevents U.S. courts from enforcing foreign court judgments that are based on censorship laws or restrict free speech. The bill defines foreign censorship laws as those that primarily restrict expression, target speech based on its content or viewpoint, or compel disclosures that would discourage free speech in ways that would violate the First Amendment if applied in the United States. American citizens who face foreign censorship judgments can sue in federal district court to have those judgments declared unenforceable under this law. The legislation removes sovereign immunity protections that foreign states might otherwise claim, allowing them to be sued on these grounds. The bill does not specify particular funding or implementation timelines.
