What happened?
On March 19, 2025, Wyoming’s governor signed Senate File 0107 (SF0107) into law, prohibiting noncompete agreements.
Overview:
This new law broadly prohibits noncompete agreements restricting an employee’s ability to work for another employer.
- Physicians: The law completely prohibits noncompete provisions that restrict a doctor’s ability to practice medicine after terminating employment or a professional affiliation. Physicians can disclose their continued medical practice and contact information to patients with rare disorders whom they previously treated.
However, it establishes several key exceptions:
- Business Sales: Noncompete clauses in contracts for purchasing and selling a business or its assets are allowed.
- Trade Secrets: Noncompete agreements that protect trade secrets are permitted.
- Relocation and Training Expenses: Employers can recover expenses for relocating, educating, and training employees, with recovery percentages decreasing based on the length of service.
- Executive and Management Personnel: Noncompete agreements are allowed for executive, management, and professional staff positions.
- Effective Date: The law applies to contracts entered into on or after July 1, 2025, and does not affect existing agreements made before that date.
