Protects covered employees from being fired or otherwise disciplined for their oral or written personal opinions on specified workplace or public matters and gives those employees a private right to sue employers who take adverse actions for such speech. The bill also defines key terms — including who is a “covered employee,” what counts as an “employer,” and what is “personally identifiable information” — and identifies categories of comments that are not protected and the remedies available to a prevailing employee.

The measure does not authorize new spending or create an administrative enforcement program; it creates a civil cause of action that changes employers' legal exposure and requires employers to review policies and practices affecting employee speech. The text does not specify an effective date or funding.
