Enacting the right to speak your truth act to prohibit defamation actions in certain circumstances.

SB 141, the "Right to Speak Your Truth Act," prevents individuals accused of sexual misconduct from filing defamation lawsuits based on reported accusations unless specific conditions are met. It directly affects people accused of sexual assault, abuse, or harassment who might sue others for making public reports about them. The law blocks defamation claims unless evidence shows: the accused couldn't have committed the act, the accuser was found not guilty in court, the accuser made contradictory public statements about the incident, or the accuser publicly denied the incident occurred. This applies only to accusations reported to law enforcement, HR departments, media, or social media, not private discussions. The bill aims to protect public reporting on serious misconduct while limiting defamation claims in those specific scenarios.
