An act relating to prohibiting agreements that prevent an employee from working for the employer following the settlement of a discrimination claim

This bill prohibits settlement agreements in employment discrimination cases from preventing an employee from continuing to work for their employer or any affiliated company. It makes any clause in such agreements that restricts an employee's ability to work void and unenforceable, ensuring that resolving a discrimination claim does not result in the employee being barred from their job. The law applies to agreements entered into after June 30, 2023, while leaving earlier settlements unaffected. Employers and employees affected by discrimination claims will need to ensure settlement terms do not include restrictions on future employment.
