Massachusetts H10 prohibits nondisclosure agreements in workplace harassment, discrimination, and misconduct settlements.

Massachusetts H10 amends state law to prohibit nondisclosure agreements in settlement agreements related to workplace harassment, discrimination, or misconduct. Such agreements are void as a matter of law and against public policy. Settlements may include provisions that prevent the disclosure of the claimant's identity at the claimant's request. The bill also mandates transparency in settlement agreements, requiring them to be posted to the Commonwealth’s Financial Records Transparency Platform and reported to the Office of the Comptroller.
