This bill creates a new law in Wyoming that broadly prohibits noncompete agreements (contractual provisions that restrict an employee’s ability to work for another employer) while establishing several key exceptions. The bill renders most noncompete covenants void, but allows exceptions for: (1) business sale agreements, (2) protection of trade secrets, (3) recovery of employee training and relocation expenses based on a sliding scale depending on the employee’s length of service, and (4) executive, management, and professional staff positions. Specifically for physicians, the bill completely prohibits noncompete provisions that would restrict a doctor’s ability to practice medicine after terminating employment or a professional affiliation. The bill includes a notable provision allowing physicians to disclose their continued medical practice and contact information to patients with rare disorders whom they previously treated. The law will apply only to contracts entered into on or after July 1, 2025, and will not affect existing agreements made before that date. This legislation aims to protect workers’ rights to seek employment and earn a living while providing limited protections for businesses’ legitimate interests.
