          agreement
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  Subdivision a of section 5-701 of the general obligations
     2  law is amended by adding a new paragraph 4 to read as follows:
     3    4. Is a confidentiality agreement which has been signed by a party  to
     4  the  contract  without  he  or  she  first  being provided with a waiver
     5  explaining the rights he or she would  be  giving  up  by  signing  such
     6  agreement.  For  such  waiver  to  be  binding,  it  shall be signed and
     7  attached as an addendum to the confidentiality agreement.   Such  confi-
     8  dentiality  agreement  shall be void if it prohibits, prevents or other-
     9  wise restricts a party from (i) lodging a complaint with the appropriate
    10  local, state, or federal agency; (ii) testifying, assisting, or  partic-
    11  ipating in any manner with an investigation conducted by the appropriate
    12  local, state, or federal agency; or (iii) filing or disclosing any facts
    13  necessary  to  receive unemployment insurance, medicaid, or other public
    14  benefits such party is entitled to.
    15    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
