SB 120 extends the time period that employers can enforce non-compete agreements with their employees, allowing these restrictions to last longer than what current law permits. The specific change allows certain covenants not to compete to remain valid for an extended duration, giving employers greater ability to prevent former workers from joining competitors or starting competing businesses. This makes it harder for employees to work in their field after leaving a job, as the restriction period becomes longer.
