Bill > HB2688

This bill, known as Trey's Law, amends existing Kansas law to declare that any nondisclosure agreement (NDA), which is a contract that prohibits the disclosure of certain information, is not legally enforceable if it is related to allegations or claims of childhood sexual abuse or human trafficking. This means that if someone tries to use an NDA to prevent a victim from speaking out about abuse or trafficking, a court will not uphold that agreement, and it will be considered void because it goes against the state's public policy. However, the bill specifies that any identifying information about a victim of childhood sexual abuse or human trafficking must still be kept confidential. This new provision applies to NDAs entered into before, on, or after July 1, 2026, with a specific exception that allowed for the enforcement of pre-July 1, 2026, NDAs if a final court judgment confirmed their enforceability, though this exception appears to be removed by the proposed changes.
