Civil procedure, provisions of agreements that prohibit disclosure of certain acts of sexual abuse rendered unenforceable

HB 93 makes it unenforceable for any agreement (like settlements, employment contracts, or confidentiality clauses) to prohibit disclosing sexual abuse incidents or related facts. This applies to agreements entered into on or after October 1, 2026, and only affects the disclosure-related parts of such agreements - not other terms like payment. The law defines "sexual abuse" broadly to include specific criminal violations under Alabama law. It directly affects individuals and entities entering agreements involving sexual abuse, ensuring survivors can discuss their experiences without legal penalties.
