In news related to non-competition agreements, proposed constitutional changes in Georgia could make it much easier to enforce this type of agreement in that state. The Georgia Legislature recently gave final approval to a constitutional amendment to provide for judicial enforcement of certain non-compete agreements, including those between franchisors and franchisees, distributors and manufacturers, employers and employees, lessors and lessees, partnerships and partners, sellers and purchasers of a business, or two or more employers. Notably, the legislature unanimously adopted the proposal.
Georgia voters will vote on the proposal on the statewide ballot in November.
