This Act strengthens the Office of the Attorney General’s ability to work collectively with the federal agencies and other state attorneys general in multi-state investigations by extending the statute of limitations for bringing antitrust actions from 3 to 4 years. The statute of limitations for federal antitrust actions is four years and for most other state antitrust actions, four or more years. The legislation also incorporates the provision under federal law that suspends the statute of limitations for antitrust actions when the federal government has instituted an antitrust action.
