Another type of Announcement Provision in Kansas is the "Non-Disparagement Provision." Under this provision, both parties involved in the litigation settle agree not to make disparaging or negative remarks about each other in public, be it during interviews, public statements, or on social media platforms.

Kansas Announcement Provisions in Litigation Settlement Agreements play a pivotal role in promoting transparency and accountability within the legal system by requiring parties to make formal announcements or press releases regarding the settlement outcomes. By making these arrangements public, Kansas ensures that society is well-informed about the resolution of legal disputes, thereby fostering trust and understanding.
