Bill Summary
For legislation relative to the judicial enforcement of noncompetition agreements. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill repeals existing law on noncompetition agreements in Massachusetts and replaces it with the Uniform Trade Secrets Act and the Massachusetts Noncompetition Agreement Act. The Uniform Trade Secrets Act provides legal remedies for the misappropriation of trade secrets, while the Massachusetts Noncompetition Agreement Act imposes specific requirements for noncompetition agreements to be enforceable, such as providing the employee with advance notice, limiting the restricted period, and requiring garden leave or other consideration during the restricted period. The bill also prohibits the enforcement of noncompetition agreements against certain types of workers, such as non-exempt employees and low-wage workers.
