Establishes standards in regards to covenants not to compete

This bill establishes new rules for non-compete agreements, which are contracts where workers promise not to work for competitors after leaving their current job. The key provision makes these agreements automatically unenforceable for employees who are paid hourly wages, regardless of any time or geographic limits included in the contract. This change directly affects hourly workers by removing the legal ability of employers to restrict their future employment in the same industry. The legislation aims to clarify that such restrictive contracts cannot be used against hourly staff, while leaving the enforceability of non-compete clauses for other types of workers subject to existing laws.
