Relating to: covenants not to compete in employment contracts.
AB 567 bans most post-employment non-compete agreements in the state, making them illegal and unenforceable for employees after their job ends. The bill specifically allows exceptions only for protecting a customer list or intellectual property (like trade secrets or proprietary data). Employers must post clear notices about this ban in visible locations and on their websites. The law applies only to new non-compete clauses entered into, renewed, or modified after the bill’s effective date.
