An Act concerning nondisclosure agreements relative to sexual harassment and discrimination
This bill prohibits settlement agreements from including non-disclosure clauses that hide information about workplace sexual harassment, discrimination (based on sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation), sex offenses, or retaliation for reporting such issues. It applies directly to employees who file claims and employers settling these cases, making any such NDA void unless the victim specifically requests confidentiality in writing. The law also requires courts to reject conflicting disclosure restrictions, penalizes attorneys who demand non-compliant NDAs, and ensures victims retain rights to disclosure without losing settlement benefits. It takes effect immediately upon enactment and adds to existing legal remedies for affected individuals.
