US HB7060

Prohibits federal officials, including the President and Vice President, from initiating enforcement actions or claims against individuals or domestic organizations that are substantially motivated by constitutionally protected speech, expression, or association.

Creates an affirmative defense allowing defendants to challenge federal enforcement claims as politically motivated, requiring the government to prove by clear and convincing evidence that legitimate grounds unrelated to protected speech justify the action.

Allows covered persons to bring civil actions seeking injunctive relief or damages against federal officials who take enforcement actions motivated by protected speech, with abrogation of qualified immunity for officials who did not act in good faith.

Awards attorneys' fees and costs to parties who substantially prevail in demonstrating that government enforcement actions were motivated by protected speech, with no statutory caps on such awards.

Requires the Attorney General to submit quarterly reports to Congress on covered matters requiring DOJ headquarters approval, including declinations, approvals, and policy changes, with immediate notification when courts issue orders affecting prosecutorial declarations.
