HB3213

Illinois HB3213 prohibits employers from entering into non-compete or non-solicitation agreements with employees.

HB3213 amends the Illinois Freedom to Work Act to prohibit employers from entering into non-compete or non-solicitation agreements with employees. Effective January 1, 2026, employers cannot enter into such agreements with any employee. Non-compete or non-solicitation agreements entered into after the effective date are void and unenforceable. The bill also prohibits employers from entering into non-compete agreements with employees terminated due to the COVID-19 pandemic or similar circumstances unless the employee is compensated equivalent to their base salary for the period of enforcement.
