Legislature: legislators; certain nondisclosure agreements entered into by legislators; prohibit. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: HB 4053'25

HB 4053 creates the "nondisclosure agreement definitions act" by defining a "nondisclosure agreement" as a contract that prohibits a party from disclosing, discussing, describing, or commenting on the agreement or its terms. This bill does not directly prohibit such agreements but establishes definitions for a future law that would address them. It requires the enactment of another bill (HB 4052 or SB 558) to take effect and passed the Michigan House of Representatives on February 25, 2025, with 91 votes in favor.

MINOR
The bill text was reformatted from a structured introduction format to a clean legislative format. The substantive content of the bill remains unchanged, including the definition of a nondisclosure agreement and the conditional enactment clause requiring another bill to pass first.
TECHNICAL

Removed introductory metadata including sponsor names, committee referral information, and page headers/footers.

Changed capitalization of 'the people of the state of michigan enact' from uppercase to lowercase.

Changed the bill number in the conditional enactment clause from '4052' to '?4052' (likely a formatting artifact).
