Summary

The bill declares any contract term that stops a victim or anyone else from reporting sexual abuse of a minor void, so it cannot be enforced in court. It applies to agreements made across state lines and even to existing settlements, allowing victims to speak to police, child‑protection agencies, or the courts without fear of civil liability. The goal is to protect constitutional rights and help investigations of federal crimes involving minors.
