Prohibits certain non-disclosure and non-disparagement provisions in employment contracts.
This bill prohibits employment contracts from including non-disclosure or non-disparagement clauses related to claims of discrimination, retaliation, or harassment. It makes such clauses unenforceable against employees and requires settlement agreements to include a clear notice stating these confidentiality terms cannot be enforced if an employee publicly discloses details identifying the employer. The bill specifically affects employees who experience workplace discrimination by preventing employers from silencing them through contract terms. It also removes an existing exception allowing these clauses in collective bargaining agreements, while permitting mediation/arbitration clauses in such agreements for discrimination claims.
