Labor; prohibiting an employer from requiring a nondisclosure agreement from an employee relating to sexual harassment in the workplace. Effective date.

SB 783 prohibits Oklahoma employers from requiring employees or potential employees to sign confidentiality agreements about workplace sexual harassment as a condition of employment. The bill defines sexual harassment broadly to include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for favors, or other unwanted sexual conduct. Employees who face violations can file a lawsuit in their local court within six months of the incident. The law, set to take effect November 1, 2025, creates a new section (173.4) in Oklahoma’s labor code.
