Captive Audience Law Notice Requirement
Effective November 1, 2026, Maryland employers are required to make available to employees the poster and model notice provided by the Commissioner of Labor and Industry summarizing the requirements, rights, and protections provided under the state's captive audience law.
Effective October 1, 2026, Maryland law makes void any noncompete agreement between a licensed architect and an employer that:
- On the first day of the architect's employment employs more than 30 employees, the majority of whom report to a primary work site within the state or work remotely from within the state; and
- On the date it seeks to enforce the noncompete agreement, it does not have its principal place of business in the state, or does not have a majority of its employees report to a primary work site within the state, or work remotely from within the state.
