Civil procedure, provisions of agreements that prohibit disclosure of certain acts of sexual abuse rendered unenforceable

Summary

The law declares that nondisclosure, confidentiality, settlement or employment agreements cannot legally forbid a person or entity from revealing acts of sexual abuse or related facts. It applies to agreements created on or after October 1, 2026, but does not affect other parts of those contracts, such as payment terms. The measure aims to protect survivors’ ability to speak out while preserving other contractual rights.
