California has a lot of questionable legislation, but they really did nail this one. It's extremely well thought out and the exceptions where non-competes can be enforced all make perfect sense. For example, a non-compete is legally binding in California is if you sell your business to someone else. Then they can enforce an agreement against your starting a new business competing against the business you just sold them.
