- Californians may get a new way to sue big companies. Some Democrats are nervous
Californians may gain a new legal avenue to sue companies for stifling competition under Assembly Bill 1776, which expands antitrust laws. The bill faces opposition from business and tech groups, who argue it could lead to predatory lawsuits, while proponents, including labor unions and trial lawyers, claim it would protect consumers and small businesses.
