Wyoming just banned most non-compete agreements (Wyo. Stat. § 1-23-108): starting July 1, 2025, most agreements that restrict workers from working in competitive jobs will be void, absent some exceptions for:

Special Rules for Physicians

Non-compete agreements for physicians that restrict practice are prohibited.  Further, doctors may notify patients with rare disorders about their new practice location and contact information.  Notably, the statute clarifies that an agreement that contains an enforceable non-compete against a physician that is otherwise permitted by law will remain enforceable.

Looking Ahead

The statute applies only prospectively to contracts signed on or after July 1, 2025.  Wyoming employers and business should consult legal counsel to update or implement restrictive covenant agreements in a timely manner.
