WV SB941

Makes void and unenforceable any contract provision that prohibits disclosing acts of sexual abuse or related facts, including nondisclosure agreements, confidentiality agreements, employment agreements, and settlement agreements

Defines "sexual abuse" as any conduct that would violate West Virginia's sexual offenses statutes (§61-8B-1 et seq.), regardless of whether criminal charges were filed or a conviction obtained

Applies retroactively to agreements entered into before, on, or after the effective date of the legislation

Preserves the ability to enforce confidentiality provisions regarding settlement payment amounts and victims' personal identifying information

Legislative findings declare that agreements prohibiting disclosure of sexual abuse are against public policy and that the state has a compelling interest in preventing abuse and protecting survivors' rights to speak freely
