An Act to enhance state anti-trust powers and enforcement
This bill aims to strengthen Massachusetts' ability to enforce anti-trust laws by directing the Attorney General to issue an annual report on economic enforcement. The report would specifically examine pricing and sales practices of large chain stores to ensure honest competition while also reviewing regulations that affect small and medium-sized businesses. By highlighting areas where state intervention is needed, the legislation seeks to empower local authorities to address business practices that may harm the state's economy or consumers.
