(AJC) — Georgia voters this week made a major change in how non-compete agreements can be enforced. More than 1.6 million Georgians approved Amendment 1. It adds exceptions to language in the Georgia Constitution that bars legislation “from defeating or lessening competition.” This would allow courts to modify agreements between firms and their workers instead of accepting or rejecting them outright. Supporters argue that 68 percent of voters agreed because the change will help draw and keep business in Georgia.
