Bill > HB1187

This bill, known as "Trey's Law," amends existing Georgia law to declare that any contract or agreement, including settlement agreements or employment agreements, that prevents the disclosure of acts of childhood sexual abuse or related facts is void and unenforceable as it goes against the public policy of the state. While such agreements cannot hide these specific details, they can still keep other aspects of a settlement, like the amount paid, confidential. This change applies to agreements made before, on, or after the law takes effect, but a person seeking to enforce such a confidentiality clause must first obtain a final court ruling confirming its enforceability.
