On June 20, 2023, the New York State Legislature passed a bill that would impose a blanket ban on New York employers from entering into non-compete agreements with employees. The bill now goes to Governor Kathy Hochul for her consideration. If enacted, New York would join four other states—California, Oklahoma, North Dakota, and Minnesota—which ban all non-compete agreements, regardless of position or income level.

In New York City, on June 8, 2023, City Council members introduced a bill that, if enacted, would prohibit employers from entering into new non-compete agreements, and make all existing non-compete agreements unenforceable.
