| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: |
|
| | Sec. 1. 26 MRSA §599, sub-§1, as enacted by PL 1999, c. 406, §1, is | amended to read: |
|
| | 1. Definition. As used in this section, unless the context | otherwise indicates, "broadcasting industry contract" means an | employment contract between a person and a legal entity that | owns one or more television stations or networks or one or | more radio stations or networks, excluding an employment | contract with a sales representative. |
|
| | Under current law, noncompete clauses in broadcasting | industry contracts, excluding employment contracts with sales | representatives, are presumed unreasonable. This bill removes | that exclusion. |
