The scheme impacts solar energy producers with a capacity exceeding 20KWs & some unsubsidised renewable energy plants (like hydroelectric plants) in operational since before January 2010, among others.

New US Federal Bill To Protect Activists Against Meritless Lawsuits

US Legislators established a procedure to dismiss and deter Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs), if they were found that the allegation amounts to First Amendment protected speech. The legislation's subcommittee highlighted the use of SLAPP by fossil fuel industry to silence environmental activists & non-profits who speak out against proposed fossil fuel pipelines.
