Labor & Employment (Employment Discrimination)

This bill bans New Mexico employers from requiring employees (including prospective, current, or former workers and independent contractors) to sign secrecy agreements or non-disparagement clauses related to workplace harassment, discrimination, or retaliation claims. It prohibits employers from preventing employees from disclosing such claims, whether occurring on-site, at work events, or between employees/employers. The law allows limited confidentiality only for settlement amounts or at an employee’s request, and voids any secrecy provision that blocks disclosure of facts about the underlying claim. Employees can discuss their experiences without fear of legal action for breaching such agreements.
