NM HB126

Private employers prohibited from requiring prospective, current, or former employees and independent contractors to sign nondisclosure or nondisparagement provisions in settlement agreements related to workplace sexual harassment, discrimination, or retaliation claims

Expands covered locations to include incidents occurring at work-related events coordinated by the employer and interactions between employees or between employers and employees, whether on or off employment premises

Settlement agreements may still include confidentiality provisions covering only the monetary settlement amount or, at the employee's or contractor's request, facts that could identify the claimant

Confidentiality provisions violating these restrictions are void and unenforceable as a matter of law

Disclosure of confidential information remains permissible when required by valid subpoena or court order in judicial, administrative, or governmental proceedings
