State Antitrust Enforcement Venue Act of 2021
Summary
State Antitrust Enforcement Venue Act of 2021 This bill limits the transfer and consolidation of antitrust cases that are brought by states in federal court.

However, under current law, antitrust cases brought by the federal government are exempt from transfer and consolidation. This bill adds to that exemption antitrust cases brought by states.
