Bill Summary

For legislation relative to clarifying legislative intent regarding the non-competition law. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend a section of the Massachusetts General Laws related to non-competition agreements. Specifically, it would clarify that the provision allowing termination of a non-compete agreement "without cause" would be defined by the parties within the non-compete agreement itself. This provides more flexibility for employers and employees to determine the circumstances under which a non-compete agreement can be terminated without cause, rather than relying solely on a statutory definition.
