This proposal prohibits television and radio stations and networks from including non-compete clauses in their employment contracts. The proposal does not affect provisions that require an employee to work exclusively for that employer during the length of the contract. The proposal does not apply to sales and management employee contracts. In addition to damages, employers found in violation will be liable for attorneys' fees and costs.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
