## Summary

**Nationwide ban on most noncompete agreements.** This bill would bar employers and entities that contract with workers from entering into or enforcing noncompetes that affect commerce, while allowing three narrow exceptions for business sales, partnership dissolutions, and trade-secret nondisclosure. - Workers and contractors: Most employees and independent contractors could no longer be forced into noncompetes, making it easier to change jobs or start businesses. Trade-secret nondisclosure agreements would still be allowed. - Sellers and partners: In a business sale or partnership breakup, parties could still agree to geographic noncompetes. Senior executives could be limited only in a sale and only for up to one year, and only if their pay ranks among the top 10 percent of seller-employees. - Enforcement and rules: The Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Labor would share enforcement and individuals and states could sue for damages and attorney fees. Agencies would have a four-year statute of limitations and must issue implementing regulations within 18 months, and predispute arbitration and joint-action waivers would be unenforceable for alleged violations.
