Prohibits non-compete clauses.

This New Jersey bill prohibits most non-compete clauses for workers, including employees, independent contractors, interns, and volunteers, with specific exceptions for senior executives earning $151,164+ annually who meet certain requirements. It requires employers to notify workers that existing non-compete clauses are no longer enforceable and prohibits "no-poach" agreements between employers that restrict hiring from each other. For senior executives, non-compete clauses can remain only if limited to 12 months, protect legitimate business interests like trade secrets, and are reasonable in geographic scope. Workers can sue employers for violations, and employers who fail to comply face fines up to $1,000 for repeated violations.
