Today the state Senate unanimously passed sexual harassment measures.



"I think both the #MeToo movement and the TimesUp program has really changed our culture. But you can't just talk about things; you have to do things too," said lead sponsor Sen. Karen Kaiser.



Senators voted to make it more difficult to force victims into silence with non-disclosure agreements or to use non-disclosure agreements to hide a history of sexual harassment.



"Legal limits on non-disclosure agreements... have become a real device that has shut down discussion or even examination of sexual harassment in the workplace," Kaiser said.



Gov. Jay Inslee sees this as a beginning, but says more must be done.



"There is not enough being done because we are going through a transition of peeling back 200 years of unacceptable behavior and a lot of work will remain to be done," Inslee said.
