  2. The legislation should include a purpose clause for the benefit of judicial interpretation. [18]
  3. The language of the legislation should not include the term “SLAPP” but rather emphasize the importance of (a) protecting expression on matters of public interest from undue interference, and (b) promoting the freedom of the public to participate in matters of public interest through expression.
