Legislative Hearing on Noncompetes
Yesterday, the Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce Development held a public hearing on proposed non-compete legislation (details about the legislation are below). The co-sponsors of the compromise legislation, Representatives Brownsberger and Ehrlich, introduced the bill, after which various interested parties presented their views to the Committee. Unfortunately, I was not able to stay for the entire hearing, but a very comprehensive summary of the differing viewpoints that were presented can be found here. I understand that the bill will be taken up by the Committee, and that the co-sponsors are hopeful that it will be brought to the floor of both houses during the current session.
