In our Alert published January 22, 2021, entitled “Washington, D.C. Employers Prepare for Broad Ban on Noncompetes and Related Workplace Policies,” we detailed the various provisions of the broad, new Ban on Non-Compete Agreements Amendment Act of 2020 and explained that the law would take effect after a 30-day congressional review period, approval and publication in the District of Columbia Register.

Therefore, the law will not actually go into effect until its inclusion in an approved budget and financial plan (the “effective date”).
