The Workforce Mobility Act of 2026 aims to prohibit certain noncompete agreements to enhance worker mobility and wage growth.

The Workforce Mobility Act of 2026 seeks to prohibit certain noncompete agreements, which restrict workers from performing similar work for another employer after leaving their current job. The bill allows exceptions for trade secrets and noncompete agreements related to the sale of a business. It mandates that employers post notices of the Act's provisions and establishes systems for individuals to report violations. The Federal Trade Commission and the Secretary of Labor are tasked with enforcing the Act, including developing shared enforcement standards.
