Prohibition on Enforcing Agreements that Restrict Disclosure of Sexual Abuse
This proposed bill would make it illegal to enforce any agreement in Alabama that stops people from talking about acts of sexual abuse. Before this change, agreements could potentially include clauses that prohibited individuals from disclosing such experiences. This new proposal affects anyone who might be involved in an agreement with a clause restricting the disclosure of sexual abuse, including employers and employees, as well as other parties to contracts. The effective date is not specified.
Before this change, there was no specific law in Alabama that made agreements prohibiting the disclosure of acts of sexual abuse unenforceable.
