Where I work, we simply tell our vendors “If you hire an ex employee of ours within three years after leaving, we will not credential that person as a vendor rep.” This means they can’t visit our premises or do any marketing to any of our people.
It has worked fine for a number of years now without any legal challenges, in a state which is pretty litigious by nature. We’re not telling the employee where to work, nor are we telling employers who to hire, we’re just restricting who has access to our company.
I don’t see any reason why the AOC-Cruz Act could not be structured the same way.
