The Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) new rules barring non-compete agreements for most employees, released yesterday, already have been challenged in two suits. The first was filed yesterday by a tax service in Texas. Today, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed in a different federal court in Texas. That suit alleges that the FTC lacks the power to adopt such sweeping rules. The ban, announced yesterday, is set to take effect in August, Reuters reports.
