H.B. No. 4067 aims to prohibit covenants not to compete against workers in Texas, specifically targeting agreements that restrict workers from seeking employment or starting their own businesses after leaving a job. The bill introduces new definitions related to "business entity," "covenant not to compete," "senior executive," and "worker," among others, to clarify the scope and application of the law. It establishes that such covenants are void and unenforceable for workers who are not senior executives, and it sets specific conditions under which covenants can be enforced against senior executives, particularly those entered into after September 1, 2025.

Additionally, the bill mandates that individuals who have entered into a void covenant must provide clear notice to the affected workers by January 1, 2026, detailing that the covenant is unenforceable. The legislation also repeals several existing provisions related to covenants not to compete and clarifies that the new law will apply only to agreements entered into or renewed after its effective date. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
