LR 395
Item 1

 
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.

 
SUMMARY

 
Under current law, noncompete clauses in broadcasting
industry contracts, excluding employment contracts with sales
representatives, are presumed unreasonable. This bill removes
that exclusion.
