Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Workers’ Right to Compete Act

Key claim: A House bill titled the Workers’ Right to Compete Act has been introduced and referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Abstract

(HR10879 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-10-22): Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Why this matters

Noncompete and worker-mobility restrictions have been a flashpoint in federal labor policy, and standalone bills signal continuing congressional interest even as agency-level efforts (like the FTC noncompete rule) face litigation. An early-stage House referral establishes a legislative marker but has no immediate effect on workers or employers.
