Introduced by Sen. John Gleason (D) on July 24, 2007, to establish in statute that a broadcasting industry contract provision that requires an employee to refrain from obtaining employment within a specified geographic area for a specified time after leaving the station is presumed to be unreasonable. A former employee would be allowed to sue the station for damages and costs if the station tried to enforce this provision.
Referred to the Senate Commerce & Tourism Committee on July 24, 2007.
