Terminating Restrictive Enforcement of Youth Settlements Law or TREY'S Law

This bill limits the enforceability of nondisclosure clauses that prohibit the disclosure of sexual abuse against a minor.

Specifically, the bill makes a nondisclosure clause in a contract void and unenforceable to the extent that it prohibits (1) a victim or alleged victim of sexual abuse against a minor from disclosing the sexual abuse or facts related to it, or (2) any other person from disclosing facts related to the sexual abuse of a minor.

Further, the changes made by this bill supersede any state law to the extent the state law permits enforcement of a nondisclosure clause that prohibits the disclosure of sexual abuse against a minor.
