Summary

The bill adds a new labor‑law section that makes any non‑compete agreement with doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists and other listed health‑related professionals null and void when the employer is a hospital or related entity. Affected professionals can sue for up to $10,000 in liquidated damages and other relief, and employers must post notices of these rights. The measure aims to increase provider mobility and protect patient access to care.
