Amendment #7 to H4434

Award of Attorney's Fees and Costs

Mr. Toomey of Cambridge moves to amend the bill by inserting in Section 3, after subsection (f), the following subsection:-  “(g) A court may, in its discretion, award reasonable attorney's fees and costs to the prevailing party in any action seeking enforcement of, or challenging the enforceability of, a noncompetition agreement. A court shall not enforce any provision of a noncompetition agreement limiting the court’s authority under this subsection.”
