Please ask Representatives to support the concept of protection from frivolous lawsuits, and to actively work to further strengthen HB 103. SB 1150 began life as a sex-offender registration bill and was passed by the Senate. The version that came out of committee is super-strong. Officials who violate are guilty of felonies. The state itself may not sue.
Defendants can recover costs of defense.
It would apply to any pending actions upon enactment. HB 1717 has passed the legislature and is now on the Governor's desk. It is a fairly strong bill and should be enacted. Ask Gov. Huckabee to sign the bill. SB 1586 have been unfortunately amended to remove felony penalties for government officials who tried to illegally sue.
