On July 3, 2024, Judge Ada Brown of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas temporarily blocked the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) from enforcing its recent rule banning virtually all employee non-compete agreements in the United States. In its 33-page opinion, the court ruled that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits of their claims that the FTC lacks statutory authority to issue its non-compete ban via rulemaking and that the FTC’s decision to ban non-competes broadly was arbitrary and capricious. However, in a surprise twist, the court declined to grant nationwide preliminary relief, opting instead to limit its injunction to the specific plaintiffs in the action. The court indicated that it intends to issue a final ruling by August 30, 2024—days before the non-compete ban is scheduled to take effect on September 4.

FTC Issues Final Rule Banning Most Non-Compete Agreements
On April 23, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC” or “the Agency”) voted 3-2 along partisan lines in a special public meeting to adopt the “Non-Compete Clause Rule” (the “Final Rule”), which will prohibit most employee non-competes with retroactive effect, except existing non-compete provisions of “senior executives.” The Final Rule will also ban future non-compete agreements, including for senior executives, with limited exceptions. The rule will not become effective until 120 days after publication in the Federal Register, and covered employers will be required to comply with the Final Rule by that effective date, which could come as early as August this year. By the FTC’s own estimate, this ban could affect up to one-in-five American workers.

The initiative seeks to address concerns that such behavior may affect healthcare affordability and quality, and employee wages.
