Bill > HB4399

This bill amends the Michigan Antitrust Reform Act to place restrictions on employers' use of noncompete agreements. Key provisions include: 1) Employers must provide written notice of the noncompete requirement to applicants, disclose the agreement terms to employees before hiring, and post a summary of the law at the worksite. 2) Employers are prohibited from requiring noncompete agreements with low-wage employees, defined as minors or employees earning less than 138% of the federal poverty line for a family of 3. 3) Noncompete agreements obtained in violation of these provisions are void and unenforceable. 4) Employers found in violation face civil penalties up to $5,000 per violation. 5) Courts can void or limit unreasonable noncompete agreements and award costs and lost income to the employee. The bill takes effect 90 days after enactment.
