I think this is a good thing. Really. I have seen non competes wreck people's ability to earn into a future, hold them captive in jobs, etc.
All the excuses are covered by other laws like taking customer data bases with you or proprietary tech/systems.
When I sold hardware the company wanted me to sign one that literally claimed I "could not sell to anyone who MIGHT some day be their customer". I told them, "you either want to hire me or you don't but I will never sign that".
My non compete was replaced with a document that said I couldn't tell anyone else in the company that I didn't have a non compete. 😂
