The Utah state legislature passed a bill on Friday that makes confidentiality clauses related to sexual assault and sexual harassment unenforceable.

HB55, sponsored by Rep. Kera Birkeland, passed in Utah's House and Senate with amendments this week. The next step is for the bill to be enrolled to be prepared in final form and then sent to the governor to sign, veto, or allow it to become law without his signature.
