An act relating to special motions to strike in an action arising from unpaid volunteer work for a nonprofit organization or governmental entity

S 151 creates a special legal motion allowing defendants who volunteered without pay for nonprofits or government entities to seek dismissal of baseless lawsuits against them. It requires courts to grant this motion unless the plaintiff proves the volunteer acted recklessly, outside their duties, or caused actual injury. The bill stays discovery during review, limits frivolous filings by awarding attorney fees to the winning party, and defines "uncompensated volunteer work" as services not exceeding $500/year in expense reimbursement. It directly protects volunteers, nonprofits, and government entities from lawsuits that discourage community service. The law takes effect upon passage and requires a 2026 report on its use.
