Even if it passes it will need to be tested in the courts (possibly in multiple states). There was an interesting case in Ireland (I know, not U.S.) recently where non-compete should not be enforceable. Interestingly enough the company still tried their stance in the court but alas failed. This was between Ryanair and Mr. Bellow (ex COO) who left for a competitor EasyJet.

The abuse of power will not just suddenly stop. You will see your contracts polluted with non enforceable non competes for times to come. It probably scares people of.
