Prohibits employers from entering into non-compete agreements with low-wage employees engaged in commerce or production of goods for commerce.

Defines "low-wage employee" as earning less than the livable hourly rate (minimum $15/hour initially) or earning annual compensation of $31,200 or less in the first fiscal year, adjusted annually for inflation.

Requires employers to post notice of these provisions in a conspicuous place on employer premises.

Mandates employers disclose non-compete requirements to non-low-wage employees prior to employment and at the beginning of the hiring process.

Authorizes the commissioner to impose civil fines up to $5,000 per employee for violations of the non-compete prohibition or disclosure requirements, and up to $5,000 for failure to post required notices.
