2003As we stated in Hapney v. Central Garage, Inc., 579 So.2d 127, 131 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991), [2] A plain reading of section 542.33(2)(a) dispels any notion that the legislature intended to dispense with the bedrock requirement that covenants of this nature must relate to a legitimate business interest of the employer in order to restrict or impinge upon the right to pursue and earn a living guaranteed by our constitution.

2003The Hapney court held that the existence of a legitimate business interest of the employer that required protection was a condition precedent to the validity of a noncompete covenant. 579 So.2d at 134 .
