Bill overview
The California Preventing Algorithmic Collusion Act of 2025 aims to prevent businesses from using pricing algorithms that rely on competitor data to unfairly coordinate prices. The bill prohibits distributing or recommending algorithms that process competitor information and restricts using algorithm recommendations if they incorporate competitor data. It establishes a defense for companies that demonstrate reasonable due diligence and includes provisions for civil penalties and legal action against violators. The bill also exempts certain computational tools like credit scores and clarifies that it doesn't interfere with existing antitrust laws.
