An important victory in the first test of Tennessee's anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) law.

Tennessee has an anti-SLAPP law (enacted in 2019). Kentucky does not —despite the valiant efforts of @RepNimaKulkarni in recent legislative sessions.

SLAPP lawsuits are alive and well in Kentucky. Repudiated by the Kentucky Court of Appeals on June 19, 2020, in a published opinion, legislative action is long past due.

Shameless plug: the Kentucky Open Government Coalition and Coalition co-director Jeremy Rogers, who successfully represented defendant Lawrence Trageser in the SLAPP brought by the City of Taylorsville Ethics Commission, will provide an update on the 2021 changes to the open records law at a free webinar tomorrow, June 21, 2021, at 10:00 am. Registration is still open.
