A bill to ban the use of confidentiality agreements when negotiating potential laws in California has failed to pass. The bill by Republican Assemblymember Vince Fong failed to pass a legislative committee on Thursday. The bill was inspired by negotiations last summer around a law that requires a $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers.

“Nondisclosure agreements certainly have their place to protect businesses’ proprietary and financial information. But they should not be used in the crafting and negotiating laws that affect the daily lives of our constituents,” Fong said. “The public already has a poor perception of the legislative process. Allowing the use of NDAs will further erode and corrode their trust in government.”
