A bill to amend 1984 PA 274, entitled “Michigan antitrust reform act,” by amending section 4a (MCL 445.774a), as added by 1987 PA 243.
This bill emphasizes that noncompete agreements must serve the employer's reasonable competitive business interests, with clear limitations on their duration, geographical scope, and applicable types of employment or business lines. It notably prohibits noncompete agreements with low-wage employees, establishes criteria for identifying such employees, and requires employers to disclose the terms of these agreements upfront.
