> It was already basically unenforcible to have an unpaid non-compete in New York (through common law)

That is not true - there are four criteria for non-competes to be valid in NY, and payment for the duration is not one of them.

> I don't think that is true, or at least I have not seen that anywhere. My understanding is this bill removes any kind of non-competes.

There are two bills - one of them requires payment for noncompetes.
