Utah: Noncompete Agreements for Healthcare Workers

As of May 6, 2026, HB 270 prohibits Utah employers from requiring a licensed health care workers to enter a noncompete agreement. In addition, any nonsolicitation 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 worker” 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.
