Utah legislature approved a bill on NDAs related to sexual assault and harassment. The bill also says attempts to enforce a confidentiality clause could result in liability for costs. AdvertisementThe Utah state legislature passed a bill on Friday that makes confidentiality clauses related to sexual assault and sexual harassment unenforceable. "In most sexual harassment cases, a company is fully equipped with lawyers at their beck and call," Bernhardt said. When individuals report sexual harassment, a lot of them don't have attorneys.

Utah became the latest state to regulate bathroom access for transgender people after Republican Gov. Opponents noted not all states allow people to change their birth certificates and that many trans people don’t want to have surgery. West Virginia’s Legislature is considering a transgender bathroom bill for students this year. “Nobody I know cares if a transgender woman comes into their bathroom, uses it for its intended purpose and walks out,” Birkeland said. Equality Utah, a nonprofit organization that advocates for LGBTQ+ rights, advocated for the amendment but still opposed the bill.
