Prohibits noncompete clauses in physician employment contracts

HB 2184 prohibits noncompete clauses in employment contracts between healthcare employers and licensed physicians, making any clause that restricts a physician’s ability to practice medicine in a specific geographic area after leaving a job unenforceable. This directly affects physicians who might otherwise face restrictions on where they can work following employment termination. The bill specifically bans these geographic and time-based restrictions while leaving other contract terms valid. It does not alter other employment terms but ensures physicians cannot be barred from practicing in a region after their employment ends.
