State Anti-SLAPP Statute
Wisconsin appears to have no anti-SLAPP statute.
How to Improve Wisconsin’s Score
Policymakers who seek to enact an anti-SLAPP statute are well-advised to consider the Uniform Public Expression Protection Act (UPEPA) as proposed by the Uniform Law Commission.
In 2020, the Uniform Law Commission (ULC), a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization of state commissioners on uniform laws that recommends and drafts model state legislation, adopted UPEPA as a model anti-SLAPP statute.
More information about UPEPA is available here.
