AN ACT relating to non-compete clauses.

SB 234 would make most non-compete clauses unenforceable in Kentucky, allowing workers to seek new jobs or start businesses without legal restrictions after leaving their current employer. The law applies to all workers except senior executives (defined as those earning at least $151,164 annually and holding leadership roles) for non-compete clauses entered before the law's effective date. Employers must provide written notice to affected workers by the effective date, informing them their non-compete clauses cannot be enforced, using methods like mail, email, or text. This notice requirement ensures workers are aware of their rights under the new law.
