Legislative Reform – Trey's Law

What We Do

Trey’s Law works at the state and federal levels to develop and pass bipartisan legislation that prohibits the misuse of NDAs in civil settlement agreements pertaining to sexual assault, particularly child sexual abuse and trafficking. We partner with survivors, advocates, experts and lawmakers to raise awareness and champion these urgent public safety reforms.
