The FTC rule banning noncompetes was blocked by the courts: https://www.npr.org/2024/08/21/g-s1-18376/federal-judge-tosses-ftc-noncompetes-ban https://www.npr.org/2024/08/21/g-s1-18376/federal-judge-toss... As explained by the FTC, "A district court issued an order stopping the FTC from enforcing the rule on September 4. The FTC is considering an appeal. The decision does not prevent the FTC from addressing noncompetes through case-by-case enforcement actions."
