This bill makes non-compete agreements unenforceable if an employer required an employee to get a COVID-19 vaccination against the employee's religious or moral beliefs. The change allows employees to work for competitors or start rival businesses after leaving their job, even if they previously signed a contract promising not to do so, as long as they can claim the vaccine mandate violated their conscience.
