Bill > H1967

This bill amends Massachusetts law to limit the enforceability of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) related to claims of discrimination, non-payment of wages or benefits, retaliation, harassment, or violation of public policy in employment. The key provisions are: (1) NDAs on these types of employment claims are only enforceable for 3 years, after which they must be renegotiated if the parties wish to extend them; (2) employers cannot retaliate against employees for refusing to enter into an NDA deemed void under this law; and (3) individuals can file civil lawsuits and recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs for violations of this law. The bill applies to all such settlement agreements entered into, renewed, modified, or amended on or after the effective date.
