FTC and non - competes

I am wondering if anyone has thoughts on the proposal by FTC to broadly make non-competes illegal.   If this gets through, how will it affect the hedge fund industry and hedge fund employees?  I’m particularly interested from the viewpoint of analysts or quants at SM or MM hedge funds (where non-competes are fairly common and can be fairly stringent at some of the funds I’ve heard about).
