Introduced·1/22/25
Introduced Text

Ohio SB11 prohibits employers from enforcing post-employment agreements that restrict workers from pursuing similar careers or businesses.

Ohio SB11 amends the state's Revised Code to prohibit employers from enforcing agreements that restrict workers from engaging in similar professions or businesses after their employment ends. These agreements include non-compete clauses, geographical restrictions, and penalties for leaving employment. The bill also voids any such agreements and allows workers to seek legal action against employers who violate these provisions. The attorney general and the director of commerce are tasked with investigating complaints and can bring actions on behalf of workers.
