Summary
This bill limits the enforceability of nondisclosure clauses that prohibit the disclosure of sexual abuse against a minor.
Specifically, the bill makes a nondisclosure clause in a contract void and unenforceable to the extent that it prohibits (1) a victim or alleged victim of sexual abuse against a minor from disclosing the sexual abuse or facts related to it, or (2) any other person from disclosing facts related to the sexual abuse of a minor.
These changes apply to any nondisclosure clause in a contract entered into before, on, or after this bill's date of enactment.
