Could Non-Competes be Outlawed in Ohio?

This could be great news for people that work in TV news.

A bill has been introduced in the Ohio legislator that would ban the non-compete clause in TV contracts in the Buckeye state.

Utah recently passed the bill and more states are doing so.

It would mean that if you left a TV station, you would not be bond by a non-compete clause that would stop you from taking a job across the street.

While your boss would love to have the non-compete clause stay in place, it is good news for those that work in TV news under a contract.

Let’s hope the Ohio legislator pushes this bill through.

You can bet that many media companies will be lobbying against it passing.
