What this bill does
H.R. 10389 is a bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Rep. James Comer (R-KY1) on September 15, 2026. Based on its title, the bill's stated purpose is to prohibit the enforcement of certain contractual clauses—such as nondisclosure or confidentiality agreements—that restrict a person's ability to disclose information about sexual abuse and grooming of a minor. The bill also indicates it addresses related, unspecified matters ("and for other purposes"), but the specifics of those provisions are not yet known.
Because the full text of the bill has not yet been published, the precise mechanics of how it would work—such as which types of contracts or agreements would be covered, who could be held liable, what penalties or remedies might apply, or how enforcement would occur—cannot be determined at this time. Likewise, it is not yet possible to say definitively which individuals, organizations, or institutions would be most affected, though the subject matter suggests it could involve victims of abuse, employers, or entities that use nondisclosure agreements.
The bill has just been introduced and referred for consideration; this is the earliest stage of the legislative process. It would need to be reviewed, potentially amended, and voted on by a House committee and then the full House, before moving to the Senate and ultimately the President, if it is to become law. No further action has yet been taken. Readers should watch for the release of the bill's full text for details on its actual provisions.
