Bill Summary

For legislation relative to non-compete agreements for veterinarians. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to prohibit non-compete agreements for veterinarians registered to practice in Massachusetts. Specifically, it would make any contract or agreement that restricts a veterinarian's right to practice in a certain geographic area or for a certain period of time after the end of their professional relationship void and unenforceable. However, the bill would not invalidate the rest of the contract or agreement, allowing the other provisions to remain in effect.
