Conspiracy against trade: punishment.

Maximum state prison sentence for individual violators was reduced from 'one, two, three, or five years' back to 'one, two, or three years,' eliminating the five-year option the Assembly had added. This means the bill no longer increases the maximum jail/prison term for individuals beyond what existing law already provides.

Section 4, which provided for state reimbursement to local agencies and school districts if the Commission on State Mandates determined the bill contained state-mandated costs, was removed from the enrolled version.

Maximum fine for corporate antitrust violators reduced from $100,000,000 to $6,000,000 - a reduction of over 94 percent.

State prison sentencing options for individual violators expanded from 'two, three, or five years' to 'one, two, three, or five years,' adding a one-year option that gives courts more flexibility for lesser offenses.

State-mandated local program designation changed from 'yes' to 'no,' meaning the Assembly determined this bill does not impose costs on local agencies requiring state reimbursement under the mandate reimbursement process.

Removed the phrase 'Subject to Section 13521 of the Penal Code' from the penalty distribution provision in Section 16755(c), eliminating a cross-reference that may have created ambiguity about how fines are handled.

Fixed several drafting errors including duplicated words ('all All moneys' to 'All moneys,' 'district attorney attorney' to 'district attorney') and added missing preposition in Section 16755.1(d) ('subdivision (c) Section 16755' to 'subdivision (c) of Section 16755').

Maximum fine for corporate violators reduced from $100,000,000 to $6,000,000, a 94 percent decrease in the top penalty for corporations violating the Cartwright Act.

Added cross-reference specifying that the Attorney General antitrust account is established under Section 12526 of the Government Code.

Minor grammatical and stylistic edits throughout, including changing 'purposes' to 'those purposes,' 'this amendment' to 'that amendment,' capitalizing 'All moneys,' adding a comma before 'then' in the district attorney provision, and changing 'treasurer(s)' to 'treasurer or treasurers.'

The enrolled version's header (Senate/Assembly passage dates, secretary signatures, blank governor receipt line) was replaced with the standard authenticated chaptered format including 'STATE OF CALIFORNIA AUTHENTICATED ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL,' Chapter 426 designation, and the approval date of October 6, 2025.

Page numbering changed from page 96 to page 95, and running headers changed from 'SB 763' to 'Ch. 426' throughout the document.
