S. 3966

Bans enforcing secrecy deals that hide child sexual abuse

Makes parts of contracts unenforceable if they stop an abuse survivor or others from talking about sexual abuse of a minor, including contracts signed before the law passes.

  • Covers contracts signed before, on, or after the law takes effect
  • Lets victims and people with knowledge of the abuse speak without facing civil lawsuits
  • Still allows limits on sharing settlement amounts and payment terms
  • Overrides state laws that let these clauses be enforced
