New Law Aimed at Monopolies by Damages and Officer Liability
Senator O Mahoney introduced a bill empowering the government to sue monopolies for twice their monthly net income for each violation. Officers and directors would be personally liable, facing fines equal to twice their monthly compensation and disqualification from future company roles. The measure seeks to hold leaders accountable to curb restraints of trade.
