An Act amending Title 12 (Commerce and Trade) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for cause of action for antitrust conduct, for indirect purchaser recovery under State antitrust laws and for premerger notice of health care mergers and transactions; and imposing penalties.

This Pennsylvania bill establishes a new legal framework to combat anticompetitive practices in the state's markets, specifically targeting monopolies, collusion, and unfair market power. It allows private individuals and businesses to sue for damages if they are indirectly harmed by these illegal actions, expanding who can seek justice beyond just direct victims. The legislation also requires companies to notify state officials before merging health care facilities or forming provider networks, aiming to prevent deals that could reduce competition in medical services. Finally, the bill authorizes the state Attorney General to investigate violations and imposes significant fines on entities that break the new rules.
