Plain-language summary
This bill would make it illegal to enforce nondisclosure or confidentiality agreements that prevent someone from speaking about sexual abuse. It declares such agreements void as a matter of public policy, and this rule would apply retroactively, meaning it could also affect agreements signed before the law takes effect. The bill is named Trey's Law. Who it may affect: people who have experienced sexual abuse and may be bound by nondisclosure or confidentiality agreements, as well as those who entered into such agreements in the past.
