The main purpose of this legislation is to empower state attorneys general to take legal action against companies that engage in price discrimination, which is unfairly charging different prices to different customers for the same product. This is a violation of the Robinson-Patman Act, which is part of the Clayton Act. The goal is to protect small businesses from unfair pricing practices that can harm their ability to compete in the market. Key provisions of the law allow state attorneys general to file civil lawsuits on behalf of their residents.
