Ban on Non-Compete Clauses for Employees and Contractors
⚠️
PROPOSED LEGISLATIONThis bill has been introduced but has NOT been signed into law. Legislative proposals may be amended, passed, or fail to advance. This is not current law.
This proposed bill would prohibit any restriction that stops an employee or contractor from practicing their profession after the employment or contractual relationship ends. Before this change, employers could enforce non-compete clauses to prevent employees or contractors from working in similar professions post-termination. This affects all employees and contractors in Tennessee who might have been subject to such restrictions. The exact effective date is not specified.
