42 U.S.C. § 19403: Limitation on judicial enforceability of nondisclosure and nondisparagement contract clauses relating to sexual assault disputes and sexual harassment disputes
Read the full statutory text
With respect to a sexual assault dispute or sexual harassment dispute, no nondisclosure clause or nondisparagement clause agreed to before the dispute arises shall be judicially enforceable in instances in which conduct is alleged to have violated Federal, Tribal, or State law. Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit a State or locality from enforcing a provision of State law governing nondisclosure or nondisparagement clauses that is at least as protective of the right of an individual to speak freely, as provided by this chapter. This chapter shall not be construed to supersede a provision of Federal, State, or Tribal Law 1 that governs the use of pseudonyms in the filing of claims involving sexual assault or sexual harassment disputes. 1 So in original. Probably should not be capitalized. Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit an employer and an employee from protecting trade secrets or proprietary information.
