HB5508

Michigan HB5508 prohibits confidentiality provisions in settlement agreements for sex discrimination and harassment claims.

Michigan HB5508 amends the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to add a new section prohibiting confidentiality provisions in settlement agreements for claims of sex discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. The bill allows for the disclosure of settlement amounts and shields the identity of the claimant if requested. It voids any settlement agreement provisions that restrict disclosure of factual information related to the claim, except for the amount paid. The court is prohibited from entering orders that conflict with these disclosure requirements.
