42 U.S.C. § 19403 — Limitation on judicial enforceability of nondisclosure and nondisparagement contract clauses relating to sexual assault disputes and sexual harassment disputes

(a) In general. For a sexual assault or sexual harassment dispute, a court cannot enforce a nondisclosure clause or nondisparagement clause that the parties agreed to before the dispute started — but only when the conduct involved is alleged to have violated federal, tribal, or state law. (b) Continued applicability of State law. Nothing here stops a state or local government from enforcing its own nondisclosure or nondisparagement law, as long as that law protects free speech at least as much as this chapter does. (c) Continued applicability of Federal, State, and Tribal law. This chapter doesn't override federal, state, or tribal laws that let people use pseudonyms when filing sexual assault or sexual harassment claims. (d) Protection of trade secrets and proprietary information. Nothing here stops an employer and employee from protecting trade secrets or proprietary information.
