IL HB2062

Prohibits employers from requiring employees or prospective employees to sign nondisclosure agreements that prevent disclosure of sexual harassment or sexual violence occurring in the workplace, at work-related events, or between employees and employers off-premises.

Declares any nondisclosure agreements with such restrictions void as against public policy.

Makes it a violation of the Whistleblower Act and Illinois Human Rights Act for employers to retaliate against employees for disclosing or discussing sexual harassment or sexual violence.

Permits confidentiality provisions in settlement agreements only if the employee receives written notice of the agreement, written notification of their right to attorney review, and at least 10 business days to consider the provision.

Preserves employer ability to require confidentiality from employees who receive harassment complaints as part of job duties and from participants in ongoing investigations who are requested to maintain reasonable confidentiality.
