Noncompete Agreements
Effective May 6, 2026, a Utah employer may not require a licensed health care worker to enter a noncompete agreement. In addition, any non-solicitation agreement with a health care worker is void and unenforceable if it prohibits the health care worker from informing a patient of their current or future place of employment.
The law defines health care workers broadly to include most health professions regulated under Utah Code Title 58, including nurses, nurse practitioners, mental health therapists, family counselors, social workers, dieticians, dentists, and others. Work with your legal counsel on such agreements.
