Summary
The bill lets parties include non‑compete provisions in a business’s governing documents or in contracts when an ownership interest is bought, sold, or transferred. It bars the former owner from working in a similar business within the same area for up to three years after the transfer. This aims to protect the business’s interests after ownership changes.
