SUPPORT
This bill prohibits California legislators from entering into or requesting nondisclosure agreements related to the drafting, negotiation, or discussion of proposed legislation, with limited exceptions for protecting trade secrets or proprietary information. It responds to revelations last year that the Legislature and government unions used NDAs during negotiations over California’s fast-food wage law. Legislation should be negotiated in public, not in backrooms under duress.
