SF 3288 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Additional circumstances provision under which a covenant not to compete is valid and enforceable

This bill amends Minnesota law to allow certain non-compete agreements to be enforced under specific conditions. It makes non-competes valid for employees earning $120,000+ annually who work on R&D or handle trade secrets, or for all employees earning $500,000+ regardless of duties. It also permits non-competes during business sales or dissolutions if geographically limited and temporary. Employees can seek attorney fees if enforcing these rights, and the law doesn't affect other contract terms. The bill directly affects high-earning employees in certain roles and business owners involved in sales or dissolution.
