Sponsor asks to roll noncompete reform bill to next year for stakeholder talks
Summary
Representative Alexander asked to roll House Bill 1034, a bill addressing noncompete agreements, to next year's calendar to allow further stakeholder discussions and drafting; committee granted the request.
Representative Alexander presented House Bill 1034, a proposal addressing noncompete agreements, and asked the committee to roll the bill to next year's calendar to allow further negotiation and stakeholder engagement.
Alexander described a constituent case: a longtime sales employee who received severance but remained bound by a two-year noncompete, leaving him unemployed after severance expired. Alexander said she had discussed the issue with other legislative leaders and stakeholders and requested more time for a round-table approach to craft a compromise.
The committee agreed to roll the bill to next year's calendar. The transcript records the procedural action but does not include additional text of the bill, specific amendments, or a future schedule for the round-table.
