I think this policy is awesome and should be universal, but it seems a little crazy to enact it unilaterally - if a company can choose which state to operate in, Hawaii is going to lose out to all the others that allow unfair (IMO) employer protections.
Couldn't have picked a more biased source ;)
Wish NY did the same. In NY they get to own all your ideas both at work and "off the clock."
My understanding is that if non-compete clauses are unreasonable then they they are generally unenforceable. As in if they put undue hardship on you finding employment elsewhere. It seems the exception is usually up at the senior leadership and C-level where strategic intelligence comes in to play. (joe/jane-coder not so much.)

If relationship with an employee and my company sours, all I really care about is that poor relationship not transferring to the relationship between my company and my clients.
Artificially locking ourselves into to a bad employer/employee relationship does nobody any good.

Unfortunately "unreasonable" is something that generally requires a court to define. That's a big burden for a worker to bear even in the most justified cases.
