Legislative history
Introduced in the House of Representatives as H.R. 3460 by Ken Buck (R–CO) on May 21, 2021
Committee consideration by United States House Committee on the Judiciary
The State Antitrust Enforcement Venue Act of 2021 is a proposed antitrust bill in the United States Congress. The legislation was introduced in the House of Representatives by Ken Buck (R-CO) as H.R. 3460 on May 21, 2021.[1] Companion legislation was introduced in the Senate by Mike Lee (R-UT) as S. 1787 on May 24, 2021.[2]
The legislation would prevent antitrust lawsuits filed by multiple state attorneys general (state AGs) from being consolidated or transferred to a separate venue at the request of a company.[3] Proponents of the bill argue that the current law helps companies accused of anti-competitive conduct by allowing suits to be consolidated or transferred in a more favorable venue at their request.[4]
On June 14, 2022, the Senate passed the legislation by voice vote.[5]
