Creates provisions relating to covenants not to compete involving physicians

Missouri HB 913, the "Missouri Rural Doctors Act," limits non-compete agreements between physicians and nonprofit healthcare employers. It requires such agreements to be for no more than 365 days and restrict competition within no more than 50 miles of the physician's practice location. The law does not apply to research university hospitals, which are excluded from these restrictions. This bill directly affects physicians working for nonprofit clinics or hospitals and the employers who enforce these agreements.
