Panel reports favorably on bill to ban intern and apprentice noncompetes
Summary
Representative Mallory presented HB 315 to prohibit noncompete clauses for interns and apprentices and to adopt BESE’s definition of 'intern'; the committee reported the bill favorably with multiple organizations filing cards in support.
Representative Mallory introduced House Bill 315, which would prohibit noncompete clauses for interns and apprentices. He said the bill adopts the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) definition of 'intern' so future BESE changes would apply automatically.
Several organizations filed cards in support, including injured‑workers groups, the Louisiana Retailers Association, NFIB and the Louisiana Restaurant Association. The committee heard no objections and reported HB 315 favorably by voice vote.
The transcript records supporters on the green card list but contains no recorded dissenting testimony or a roll‑call tally for this item; the committee’s action was to report the bill favorably out of committee.
