Enacts the Uniform Antitrust Pre-Merger Notification Act. (BDR 52-938)

SB 218 requires businesses planning certain mergers or acquisitions to submit copies of their federal antitrust filings (under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act) to Nevada’s Attorney General at the same time as they file federally. It applies to businesses with their main office in Nevada or those meeting specific annual sales thresholds (20% of the federal filing threshold) in the state. The law mandates electronic submission of both the federal form and supporting documents, prohibits the Attorney General from charging fees for these filings, and exempts gaming licensees. It also maintains strict confidentiality for submitted materials, allowing disclosure only under limited circumstances like court orders or for investigations. This aligns Nevada with the Uniform Antitrust Pre-Merger Notification Act adopted by the Uniform Law Commission.
