Noncompete and Conflict of Interest Clauses - Licensed Architects - Employer Workforce Relocation and Out-of-State Employers
Approved by the Governor - Chapter 301
Summary
The law makes certain noncompete and conflict‑of‑interest provisions in employment contracts unenforceable if the employer moves the majority of its workforce or its main office outside Maryland. It applies to lower‑wage workers, licensed health‑care and veterinary staff, and employees of firms that shift most of their employees out of state. The change aims to protect workers’ ability to find new jobs after a relocation.
