§2720.23. Nondisclosure agreements; victims of child sexual abuse; void and unenforceable A. A nondisclosure clause shall be void and unenforceable as against public policy only to the extent that the nondisclosure clause prohibits the following: (1) A victim or alleged victim of sexual abuse against a minor from disclosing that act of sexual abuse, or facts related to that act of sexual abuse. (2) Any other person from disclosing facts related to sexual abuse against a minor in support of, in furtherance of, or consistent with the right of a victim or alleged victim to disclose under Paragraph (1) of this Subsection. B. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, nothing in this Section shall be construed to prohibit a person, including a victim or alleged victim of sexual abuse against a minor, from entering into a contract or agreement that restricts the disclosure of information, including the amount or payment terms of a settlement, by another party to the contract or agreement, including an alleged perpetrator, provided that such restriction does not prevent disclosure protected pursuant to Subsection A of this Section. C. No person may enforce or attempt to enforce a nondisclosure clause provided for in this Section, regardless of the date that the contract or agreement containing the nondisclosure clause was entered into.
