An Act concerning nondisclosure agreements relative to sexual harassment and discrimination
This bill prohibits settlement agreements from including clauses that prevent disclosure of information about workplace sexual harassment, discrimination, or retaliation claims. It specifically bans such clauses for claims involving sex offenses, sexual harassment, discrimination based on sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation, or retaliation for reporting these issues. The bill allows confidentiality of the claimant's identity only if requested in writing and with informed consent, and any other nondisclosure provision in a settlement is void. Claimants who prevail can recover attorney fees and a jury trial, while attorneys violating the law may face professional discipline.
