Making certain agreements prohibiting information sharing related to sexual abuse unenforceable

SB 941 makes certain non-disclosure agreements related to sexual abuse unenforceable in West Virginia. It voids clauses in contracts (including employment, settlement, or confidentiality agreements) that prohibit disclosing acts of sexual abuse or related information. The law applies to all such agreements made before, during, or after the bill’s effective date. However, it does not prevent confidentiality around settlement amounts or victim identities, which remain protected. This directly affects survivors, employers, and organizations that use or enforce such agreements.
