AI Summary
This bill, the Workforce Mobility Act of 2021, prohibits most noncompete agreements, which restrict workers from taking jobs with competing employers after leaving their current job. Exceptions are allowed for the sale of a business or its assets, and for senior executives with severance agreements. The bill gives the Federal Trade Commission and Department of Labor enforcement authority, and allows individual workers to file civil lawsuits for violations. The bill aims to foster stronger wage growth and worker mobility, while still allowing employers to protect trade secrets and other legitimate business interests.
