Florida is looking to change their legislation around non-compete agreements and it could affect employers outside the state.
A new Florida bill set to take effect on July 1, 2025, aims to significantly alter the landscape of non-compete agreements within the state. The legislation, known as Senate Bill 226, seeks to limit the enforceability of non-compete clauses, restricting their use to only high-earning employees—those making over $150,000 annually—and capping the duration of such agreements to a maximum of six months post-employment.
