The Secret & Silence Bill
New Mexico bill bans secret and silence clauses
Prohibit Nondisclosure & Nondisparagement
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would make it illegal to force people to keep quiet or stop them from speaking negatively about a job or product.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
People could speak up about bad service or unsafe work without fear of being silenced, while businesses lose a tool to hide problems.
