TREY'S Law

This bill would make it illegal to enforce certain contractual provisions that prevent people from disclosing sexual abuse of minors. Currently, some contracts include non-disclosure agreements or confidentiality clauses that can prevent victims or witnesses from speaking publicly about abuse. This legislation would invalidate such restrictions, allowing survivors and others to come forward without fear of legal consequences from the contract.

If enacted, the bill could have significant practical effects for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. It would remove legal barriers that sometimes prevent victims from sharing their experiences, reporting abuse to authorities, or participating in public discussions about their cases. The bill would apply broadly to contractual clauses that restrict such disclosures, potentially affecting settlement agreements, employment contracts, and other arrangements that currently contain confidentiality provisions related to minors' sexual abuse.

The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in the Senate in March 2026. It has been referred to committee for consideration and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate.
