"Issuing a nationwide injunction halting the Rule's enforcement, the Texas court deemed the Non-Compete Rule unlawful, set it aside, and ordered that the 'Rule shall not be enforced or otherwise take effect on its effective date of September 4, 2024, or thereafter.' ... Although it is possible that the FTC will appeal this decision and/or seek alternative methods to limit competition it deems unfair, the current Rule cannot be enforced on or after September 4, 2024."

"While the Michigan Supreme Court's decision is not subject to appeal, the state legislature could now take action to amend the laws as it is well beyond the original session in which they were adopted. This means potentially more uncertainty for Michigan employers as they wait to see if the legislature will take any action." [Mothering Justice v. Attorney General, No. 165325 (Mich. Jul. 31, 2024)]
