What it does
This bill relates to noncompete covenants, as defined in the bill, contained within employment contracts and provisions that are prohibited and void. The bill provides that if a person makes less than 150 percent of the minimum wage, a noncompete covenant is unenforceable and violates the bill. The bill provides that a noncompete covenant with a non-low-wage employee is unenforceable and violates the bill unless the employer can show that the noncompete covenant is necessary due to a clear and inherent risk of unfair competition and the noncompete covenant was narrowly tailored to mitigate the risk.
