Introduced Text

Massachusetts H2007 prohibits nondisclosure agreements in settlements related to sexual harassment and discrimination claims.

Massachusetts H2007 aims to prevent nondisclosure agreements in settlements involving sexual harassment and discrimination claims. The bill prohibits public funds from being used to settle such claims if they include nondisclosure provisions. It voids any nondisclosure clauses in settlement agreements as a matter of law and against public policy. The bill also allows claimants to demand a jury trial and mandates that courts consider relevant records when determining the factual basis of a claim.
