Bars nondisclosure agreements to settle sexual assault and harassment claims against certain State officers and employees and members of Legislature; bars use of campaign funds to settle claims.

This bill prohibits state agencies from using nondisclosure agreements to settle sexual assault or harassment claims against covered state officials, including legislators, regular employees, and special state employees (part-time or low-compensation roles). It also bans the use of campaign funds to pay for such settlements. The law applies to all claims involving sexual assault (defined under New Jersey law) or sexual harassment (including unwelcome conduct creating a hostile environment) by these officials. The bill directly affects state agencies, legislators, and candidates who might face such claims, ensuring settlements are transparent and not funded by campaign money.
