> Are there any groups working on getting national/federal regulations changed to invalidate or ban non-compete agreements?
I don't know if there are, but the idea seems like a complete non-starter in the USA. I don't see any reason to forbid two willing parties from entering into an agreement that includes a non-compete provision.
I can maybe see some rationale for restrictions in standard employment situations. But for contract work? If you don't like the terms, don't accept.
