Non-Compete Legislation Proposed in Connecticut

Connecticut has recently proposed non-compete legislation which could dramatically impact restrictions on employee mobility. 

The bill, known as “Employer Use of Noncompete Agreements,” is House Bill 6658.  The bill recently passed in the Judiciary Committee, and is currently pending before Connecticut’s House of Representatives.

As it is written, the bill is intended to apply to all Connecticut employers.  The bill will regulate all non-compete agreements in effect after October 1, 2013, and will be the first of its kind in Connecticut.  As of now, requirements for non-compete agreements are based on case law.
