Bill overview
This bill, AB 325, amends California’s Cartwright Act to broaden the scope of prohibited activities related to price-fixing. Specifically, it makes it unlawful to use or distribute common pricing algorithms in ways that restrain trade or commerce, including when those algorithms coerce businesses into adopting recommended prices. The bill also allows for complaints alleging the *plausibility* of a price-restricting agreement, rather than requiring proof of exclusion of independent action. Furthermore, it prohibits the use of common pricing algorithms that coerce price setting.
