Relating to the enforceability of certain nondisclosure or confidentiality provisions with respect to an act of sexual abuse committed against a child.

SB 1587 prohibits the enforcement of confidentiality clauses in agreements that prevent reporting child sexual abuse to law enforcement or disclosing facts about such abuse. It makes void any provision in nondisclosure, employment, settlement, or other agreements that blocks reporting to police or regulatory agencies or restricts disclosure of abuse details (including offender identity) during investigations or legal proceedings. The law directly affects parties entering agreements involving child sexual abuse, defined as acts under specific Texas Penal Code sections (e.g., indecency with a child, sexual assault). The bill applies to all agreements entered into before, on, or after its effective date of September 1, 2025.
