End Foreign Abuse of United States Courts Act

Introduced·3/4/26

Establishes a procedure to dismiss strategic lawsuits against public participation brought by certain foreign actors.

The End Foreign Abuse of United States Courts Act aims to amend title 28, United States Code, by inserting a new chapter to establish a procedure for dismissing strategic lawsuits against public participation brought by governments, agents, instrumentalities, and entities of foreign adversaries and other countries engaging in frivolous litigation. The act allows for a special motion to dismiss such claims, with expedited rulings and potential punitive damages if the claim is deemed to harass or cause unnecessary delay.
