SB 995 prohibits most non-compete agreements that restrict employees or contractors from practicing their profession after employment ends or contracts conclude in Tennessee. It removes previous exceptions allowing such restrictions (by deleting references to Section 63-1-148) and makes these clauses void and unenforceable. The law applies to contracts entered into or amended on or after July 1, 2025, directly affecting workers transitioning between jobs and employers seeking to limit post-employment competition. This change aims to increase workforce mobility by eliminating common barriers to reemployment.
