SB 1587 voids nondisclosure or confidentiality agreements that prohibit or limit reporting of child sexual abuse to law enforcement or other entities. It declares such provisions unenforceable and against the public policy of Texas, ensuring individuals can disclose information related to sexual abuse without restriction. The law applies retroactively to agreements entered into before, on, or after the Act's effective date of September 1, 2025.
