Last summer, two New York State Senators introduced the “Twenty-First Century Anti-Trust Act.” The bill attracted attention for the sweeping changes it would bring to New York antitrust law by exposing “dominant” corporations—particularly technology companies—to liability for unilaterally abusing their dominant positions.
After a flurry of commentary and a committee hearing, last month, one of the bill’s sponsors introduced a revised version of the bill. Among other changes, the revised bill would give the New York Attorney General a powerful role in both enforcing and interpreting the state’s antitrust laws.
