AI Summary

This bill prohibits the use of nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) to prevent the disclosure of information related to claims of sexual offenses, sexual harassment, discrimination, or retaliation in the workplace. It voids any existing NDAs that conflict with this provision, except that it allows for the identity of the claimant/victim to be shielded at their written request. The bill also prohibits the use of public funds to settle such claims against public employees and allows for professional discipline of attorneys who demand or advise clients to sign prohibited NDAs.
