AI Summary

This bill aims to ban noncompetition agreements in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It proposes to amend the state's General Laws to render such agreements void and unenforceable, effective January 1, 2022. Noncompetition agreements are contractual provisions that restrict an employee's ability to work for a competitor or start a competing business after their employment ends. The bill seeks to eliminate these types of restrictive covenants, which can limit job mobility and economic opportunities for workers.
