MODERATE

This bill amendment adds additional sponsors and updates the legislative history, while reorganizing and clarifying the antitrust exemptions for carpet recycling programs. The changes expand the scope of protected activities to include actions required by the law itself, not just those approved by the department, and broaden the exceptions for price-setting agreements to allow for producer responsibility pricing.

Scope change

The bill now covers actions required by the law itself in addition to those approved by the department, and expands exceptions for price agreements to include those necessary for producer responsibility.

ELIGIBILITY

Added three new sponsors (Sen. FAHY and Sen. WEBB) to the bill, indicating broader legislative support.

ENFORCEMENT

Revised antitrust liability protections to cover actions required by the law itself, not just those approved by the department, making more activities protected from antitrust claims.
