Summary

Existing law subjects to a special motion to strike a cause of action against a person arising from any act of that person in furtherance of that person's right of petition or free speech under the United States Constitution or the California Constitution in connection with a public issue, unless the court determines that the plaintiff has established that there is a probability that the plaintiff will prevail on the claim. Existing law requires any party who files a special motion to strike, or an opposition to a special motion to strike, to transmit to the Judicial Council, promptly upon filing, a copy of the endorsed, filed caption page of the motion or opposition, a copy of any related notice of appeal or petition for a writ, and a conformed copy of any order issued, as specified, including any order granting or denying a special motion to strike, discovery, or fees. Existing law requires the Judicial Council to maintain a public record of the information transmitted to it, as described above, for at least 3 years. This bill would repeal the Judicial Council transmittal requirements and the Judicial Council's corresponding duty to maintain a public record of these transmittals for 3 years.
