Bill > S1366

This bill addresses non-compete agreements specifically for veterinarians in Massachusetts by rendering void any contractual provisions that restrict a veterinarian's ability to practice medicine in a geographic area after the termination of their employment, partnership, or professional relationship. The proposed legislation would invalidate only the restrictive geographic clauses in such contracts while preserving the remaining terms of the agreement, effectively protecting veterinarians' professional mobility and their right to practice their profession without undue limitations after leaving a specific workplace or professional arrangement. By adding this provision to Chapter 112 of the General Laws, the bill aims to prevent employers from using non-compete agreements to unfairly limit veterinarians' career opportunities and ability to work in their chosen field after ending a professional relationship.
