Restricts use of restrictive employment covenants for physicians and nurses.
This bill makes most geographic restrictions on physicians' post-employment practice unenforceable, voiding non-compete clauses that limit where they can work after leaving a job. Exceptions allow restrictions for large hospital systems (30+ physicians), small groups (30 or fewer), federally qualified health centers (10-mile radius, max 4 years), or when unique incentives like signing bonuses over $50,000 are provided. It directly affects licensed physicians and nurses by altering the enforceability of their employment contracts. The law applies to new contracts entered after its effective date.
