Attorney General Tong Submits Testimony in Support of An Act Concerning Non-Compete Agreements
(Hartford, CT) – Attorney General William Tong submitted testimony in support of SB 906, An Act Concerning Non-Compete Agreements.“Connecticut’s economy is still recovering from the effects of the COVID pandemic, and too many of our workers are still unemployed or underemployed. Legislation such as SB 906 can help us respond by maximizing worker flexibility, mobility, competition, and entrepreneurship, so that we can get more people back into the labor force,” said Attorney General Tong. “Overuse of non-compete provisions unnecessarily restricts worker liberty, limiting their ability to choose the right job and even to start their own businesses. That hurts workers and their families, and creates drag on the economy’s ability to adapt and recover. Simply stated, non-compete provisions are bad for workers, for business, and for our state.”
