CA ACR95

Approves three new topics for study by the California Law Revision Commission: whether state law should ban single-company monopolies like federal law does, whether antitrust analysis for technology companies should include innovation and entrepreneurial freedom beyond price considerations, and whether to reform merger/acquisition approvals and statutory antitrust exemptions.

Requires the California Law Revision Commission to submit a detailed scope of work description to the chairs and vice chairs of the Assembly and Senate Judiciary Committees before beginning the study.

Requires the commission to submit descriptions of any major changes to the project's scope during the course of the study.

Cites federal legislative efforts and New York State's proposed antitrust reforms as context, and notes that California's current Cartwright Act does not address single-company monopolization or mergers like the federal Sherman Act does.
