AI Summary

This bill amends the Michigan Antitrust Reform Act to prohibit employers from requiring certain non-compete agreements from employees. Specifically, the bill prohibits employers from obtaining non-compete agreements from low-wage employees, defined as those earning less than $15 per hour, 150% of the minimum wage, or $31,200 per year. Employers must also provide written notice of non-compete requirements to applicants and disclose the terms before hiring. The Attorney General can enforce the law and fine violating employers up to $5,000 per violation. The court can void unreasonable non-compete agreements and award legal fees and lost income to the employee.
