HB 3060 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to actions brought by the attorney general on behalf of certain persons under the Texas Free Enterprise and Antitrust Act of 1983.

HB 3060 amends Texas law to allow the Attorney General to sue on behalf of cities, counties, school districts, or other government entities when their businesses or property are harmed by antitrust violations under the Texas Free Enterprise and Antitrust Act of 1983. The bill requires the Attorney General to notify these government entities in writing before filing such a suit, giving them 30 days to withdraw authorization via formal resolution. If the Attorney General wins, they recover actual damages, interest, and fees for the affected entity, with triple damages possible for willful violations. The law defines "governmental entity" broadly to include all Texas state agencies, local governments, and school districts.
