On March 4, 2020, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed into law House Bill 21, a bipartisan measure that limits the use of nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) in sexual misconduct cases. With the law’s enactment, New Mexico joins the growing number of states—including California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and Washington—that restrict the use of confidentiality provisions in settlement agreements involving harassment and discrimination claims.
