Florida CHOICE Act Allows for Easier Enforcement of Noncompete and Garden Leave Agreements
Many states have recently passed legislation making it more difficult for employers to enforce restrictive covenants against their departing employees. On April 24, 2025, the Florida legislature bucked this trend by passing the Florida Contracts Honoring Opportunity, Investment, Confidentiality, and Economic Growth (CHOICE) Act, which allows for easier enforcement of covered garden leave and noncompete agreements and extends the maximum enforceable period for such agreements to four years. Despite some public opposition to the CHOICE Act, Governor DeSantis did not sign or veto it, which resulted in the CHOICE Act becoming law on July 3, 2025.

What Is Consumer Tracking Law?
Companies analyze consumers’ online activities by tracking their behavior. There is no specific consumer tracking law in the U.S. at the federal level; however, Federal Trade Commission Behavioral Advertising Principles recommend that websites disclose data collection policies that are used to create targeted marketing. The legal areas of consumer tracking deal with how websites, analytics companies, advertisers, plug-in providers, and other online services track users via first- and third-party cookies, as well as other methods. Consumers do have the option to use the Do Not Track (DNT) settings available in web browser settings, though companies do not have to legally follow DNT requests. If a company adopts a policy of honoring Do Not Track requests, it is legally required to follow that policy. The FTC also has guidelines for the collection of user location data by mobile apps when the apps are not in use.

What Is Privacy Compliance Law?
The area of privacy compliance law addresses how organizations meet legal and regulatory requirements for collecting, processing, or maintaining personal information. Data privacy breaches can lead to regulatory investigations and fines. When privacy is compromised, consumers or employees may respond with civil lawsuits. It is recommended, but not required by a federal law, that companies create and post privacy policies on websites and mobile apps. Once posted, companies must follow these policies or face scrutiny by the Federal Trade Commission. (California and Delaware state law does require privacy policies to be posted on websites and mobile applications, if the site collects personally identifiable information).
