Madison — State Representative Adam Neylon (R-Pewaukee) testified this week in support of his legislation, Assembly Bill 675, which would strengthen patient access to care and stabilize the state’s healthcare workforce.
The bill would make non-compete agreements for medical professionals unenforceable after two years. By restricting these clauses, Wisconsin sends a clear message that it supports fair competition, professional mobility and patient-first care, making the state more attractive to doctors, nurses and other essential providers. Removing this barrier strengthens the healthcare workforce and encourages a more competitive, resilient healthcare system.
After the public hearing, Rep. Neylon made the following statement:
“Healthcare is not a typical marketplace. When medical professionals are forced out of a community or barred from practicing for months due to a non-compete, patients pay the price. This bill is a common-sense step toward ensuring that every Wisconsin resident, regardless of geography, has access to the care they need, by the professionals they know, trust and prefer.”
