SB142

Pennsylvania SB142 prohibits enforcement of non-compete agreements in broadcast employment contracts.

Pennsylvania SB142, known as the Broadcast Freemarket Agreement Act, prohibits enforcement of covenants not to compete in broadcast employment agreements. These agreements, which restrict a broadcast employee's ability to compete with their employer after leaving, are deemed contrary to public policy and void. The act affects broadcast employees, including those working for television stations, radio stations, and other media outlets. It does not limit agreements on maintaining information as confidential or as a trade secret, nor does it limit the geographic area for such agreements.
