"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 4.24 RCW to read as follows:

(1) In any civil action relating to sexual harassment or assault, a nondisclosure policy or agreement that purports to limit the ability of any person to produce evidence regarding past instances of sexual harassment or assault by a party to the civil action does not affect discovery or the availability of witness testimony relating to that civil action. Any provision of a nondisclosure policy or agreement including any arbitration agreement or decision that would limit, prevent, or punish such disclosure is contrary to public policy and unenforceable. However, the court shall enter appropriate orders upon motion of any party supported by affidavit or sworn declaration, or without motion but on the court's own accord, to ensure that the identity of any person who is or is alleged to be a victim of sexual harassment or assault is not made public as a result of a disclosure made under this section, unless such person consents.

(2) The provisions of this section do not alter admissibility standards of evidence for the court to decide whether the probative value of evidence offered outweighs the potential prejudice."

POINT OF INQUIRY

Senator Padden: “Mr. President, will Senator Frockt yield to a question?”

President Habib: “Senator Frockt do you consent to the colloquy?”

Senator Frockt: “Sure.”

Senator Padden: “Thank you Mr. President. Senator Frockt I’m asking you whether this bill is prospective in its application, or retroactive?”

Senator Frockt: “Thank you Senator Padden for the inquiry and I know this is an issue of concern to you. Yes, statutes are presumed to apply prospectively absent contrary legislative intent. A statute is not retroactive merely because it relates to prior facts or transactions. A statute operates prospectively when the precipitating event for the application of the statute occurs after the effective date of the statute, even though the precipitating event had its origin in a situation existing prior to the enactment of the statute. So I believe this answers the question on retroactivity and prospectivity.”

On motion of Senator Padden and without objection, the colloquy containing the remarks of Senator Frockt and Senator Padden regarding prospectivity and retroactivity was spread upon the Journal.

Senators Padden and Kuderer spoke in favor of passage of the bill.
