§2720.23. Nondisclosure agreements; victims of child sexual abuse; void and unenforceable
A. A nondisclosure clause shall be void and unenforceable as against public policy
only to the extent that the nondisclosure clause prohibits the following:
(1) A victim or alleged victim of sexual abuse against a minor from disclosing that
act of sexual abuse, or facts related to that act of sexual abuse.
(2) Any other person from disclosing facts related to sexual abuse against a minor in
support of, in furtherance of, or consistent with the right of a victim or alleged victim to
disclose under Paragraph (1) of this Subsection.
B. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, nothing in this Section shall
be construed to prohibit a person, including a victim or alleged victim of sexual abuse against
a minor, from entering into a contract or agreement that restricts the disclosure of
information, including the amount or payment terms of a settlement, by another party to the
contract or agreement, including an alleged perpetrator, provided that such restriction does
not prevent disclosure protected pursuant to Subsection A of this Section.
C. No person may enforce or attempt to enforce a nondisclosure clause provided for
in this Section, regardless of the date that the contract or agreement containing the
nondisclosure clause was entered into.
