1. A packer shall not include a provision in a contract executed on or after April 29, 1999, for the purchase of livestock providing that information contained in the contract is confidential.

2. A provision which is part of a contract for the purchase of livestock executed on and after April 29, 1999, is void if the provision states that information contained in the contract is confidential. The provision is void regardless of whether the confidentiality provision is express or implied; oral or written; required or conditional; or contained in the contract, another contract, or in a related document, policy, or agreement. This section does not affect other provisions of a contract or a related document, policy, or agreement which can be given effect without the voided provision.
