§ 79206 Commission Actions Antitrust Exemption

Key Takeaways

  • •The commission and its members can't be accused of breaking competition laws (like the Cartwright Act or Unfair Practices Act) when following this law or its rules.
  • •This means they won’t get in trouble for things like creating monopolies or unfair business practices if they’re just doing their job as described in this law.
  • •It’s like a protection shield for the commission when they’re working within the rules.

Example

Imagine the commission sets new rules for how businesses in a certain industry must operate to keep things fair.

Even if a business doesn’t like the rules and thinks they’re unfair, the commission can’t be sued for breaking competition laws as long as they followed this law.
