Abstract
(SB1049 · 103rd Legislature) Public employees and officers: other; certain nondisclosure agreements; prohibit. Creates new act. Latest action (2026-06-24): Senate Co-sponsor(s) Named: Sean Mccann
Why this matters
Prohibiting nondisclosure agreements for public employees and officers would restrict a mechanism by which government workers can be contractually silenced, expanding public transparency and worker speech rights in the public-sector workplace. For public employers, it changes what terms can be included in employment, settlement, or contractor agreements; for taxpayers, it may increase visibility into government dealings. Status: introduced.
