Bill > SB0132

This bill establishes new regulations on noncompete agreements in Indiana, specifically prohibiting employers from entering into noncompete agreements with employees who earn less than $150,000 annually. The bill defines key terms such as "compensation" (which includes hourly wages, salary, and commissions), "employee" (a person performing work for remuneration), and "employer" (which encompasses businesses, state agencies, and political subdivisions). Any noncompete agreement made with an employee earning less than $150,000 would be considered void and unenforceable. The bill does not apply to noncompete agreements entered into before April 1, 2026, and it is designed to supersede any conflicting provisions in other Indiana laws. By declaring an emergency, the bill indicates its immediate importance and potential urgent need for implementation to protect lower-wage workers from restrictive employment agreements that might limit their future job opportunities.
