Bill > S2160

This bill, effective January 1, 2027, generally prohibits noncompetition agreements, which are contracts where an employee agrees not to compete with their employer after their employment ends, with a key exception for agreements made between a seller and buyer of a business. The bill also introduces a new provision allowing employers to file a civil lawsuit against employees who violate agreements related to the disclosure or improper use of trade secrets, which are confidential business information like customer lists or future plans, and if successful, the employer can recover damages, legal fees, and other costs.
