The Mass General Court (legislature) seems primed this session (about to expire) to pass and send to Baker a comprehensive law regulating non-comp agreements in Massachusetts.  Many details are still open, and Baker has not signaled whether he would sign.

Key issue: “garden leave” provision requiring company to pay 50% of salary to enforce most non-comps.  Also not clear: can you have a non-comp enforced against an employee you fire without cause?

Stay tuned.
