The Fair Competition for Small Business Act of 2025 seeks to enhance enforcement against price discrimination by modifying the Clayton Act. It specifically grants state attorneys general the power to bring civil actions for damages as parens patriae on behalf of their state's residents. This amendment allows states to recover damages for injuries sustained due to violations of the Robinson-Patman Act , which addresses discriminatory pricing practices. By inserting "or section 2 of this Act" into Section 4C(a)(1) of the Clayton Act, the bill broadens the scope of state enforcement to include these anti-competitive behaviors.
