On June 11, Small Business Majority and Evan Starr, economist and Associate Professor of Management and Organization at the University of Maryland’s Robert M. Smith School of Business, filed an Amicus Brief in a case before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in support of the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) rule to ban non-compete agreements. On July 23, the court ultimately declined to block the FTC’s ban, citing that the FTC does in fact have authority to issue the rule.
