The Speak Your Truth Act would require plaintiffs who lose defamation or libel lawsuits to pay the defendant's attorney's fees and court costs. The bill applies specifically to cases where defendants are accused of making false statements about sexual assault, sexual harassment, workplace discrimination, or housing discrimination they experienced. To qualify for fee recovery, the defendant's communication must be factual information expressed without malice and related to one of these protected categories. Courts would have discretion to limit the fee awards if they find exceptional circumstances that would make the payment unjust. The legislation aims to reduce legal barriers that might discourage people from publicly discussing their experiences with harassment and discrimination.
