Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, the chairwoman of the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Oversight and Reform, is introducing two bills “to rein in the abuse of non-disclosure, confidentiality, and non-disparagement agreements in the workplace and create new protections for employees whose professional images are used for illegitimate purposes.”
According to a press release about the legislation, this is as a result of the committee’s investigation into the Commanders. The months-long probe that began in October 2021 is looking into the franchise’s workplace culture, how the league handled misconduct reports, what the NFL’s standards should be and “legislative reforms needed to address these issues across the NFL and other workplaces,” according to the committee’s press release from earlier this month.
