An Act prohibiting enforcement of covenants not to compete in broadcast employment agreements.
SB 142 prohibits employers in Pennsylvania's broadcast industry (including TV, radio, and digital media companies) from enforcing non-compete clauses in employment agreements. It makes such clauses void and unenforceable if they restrict an employee's ability to move to a new employer or work within a specific geographic area after leaving a job. The bill does not affect agreements requiring employees to keep company information confidential. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment.
