Bill > SB30

This bill, known as Trey's Law, declares that any agreement, including nondisclosure, confidentiality, employment, or settlement agreements, that prevents someone from disclosing an act of sexual abuse or related facts is void and unenforceable. Sexual abuse is defined broadly to include various criminal violations related to sexual offenses, regardless of whether criminal charges were filed or a conviction occurred. The bill's intent is to protect survivors' rights to speak freely and to prevent agreements from shielding perpetrators or hindering public safety, recognizing the significant harm caused by sexual abuse. This provision applies to agreements entered into, executed, or amended on or after October 1, 2026, and specifically targets the clauses related to sexual abuse, leaving other aspects of agreements, such as compensation, unaffected.
