An Act relative to non-disclosure agreements relating to a claim of discrimination, non-payment of wages or benefits, retaliation, harassment or violation of public policy in employment

This bill (HD 3739) limits the enforceability of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in employment settlements involving claims of discrimination, unpaid wages/benefits, retaliation, harassment, or public policy violations. It states that any NDA provision waiving these rights is only valid for 3 years from the agreement's start date. Employees cannot be punished by employers for refusing to sign such clauses, and employers violating this law face liability for attorney fees and damages. The law applies to all settlement agreements entered after its effective date, but excludes collective bargaining agreements. It directly affects employees with workplace claims and employers using NDAs in settlements.
