Bill Summary

Restricts use of restrictive employment covenants for physicians and nurses.

AI Summary

This bill restricts the use of restrictive employment covenants, also known as non-compete clauses, for licensed physicians and nurses in New Jersey. It generally makes such covenants void and unenforceable, except for certain limited exceptions, such as when a physician is leaving a large hospital system or group practice to join another of similar size, or when the employer provided a substantial incentive to the physician for joining. The bill is intended to help ensure patient access to healthcare providers and promote competition in the medical industry.
