SB 779 Covenants not to compete; physicians.
Introduced by: William M. Stanley, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Covenants not to compete; physicians. Declares that any covenant not to compete that restricts the right of a physician to practice medicine upon the termination of an employment contract is void. A similar prohibition applies to noncompetition provisions triggered by a physician's dissociation from, or the termination or dissolution of, a business entity. The measure provides that all other provisions of the employment contract or other agreement are enforceable, including provisions that require the payment of damages in an amount that is reasonably related to the injury suffered by reason of termination of the employment contract or the dissociation from or the termination or dissolution of a business entity.
