relative to litigation concerning healthcare monopolies.

HR 14 is a non-binding resolution urging New Hampshire's Attorney General to more actively investigate and enforce antitrust laws against price-fixing and other anti-competitive practices in the healthcare sector. It specifically asks the Attorney General to publicly explain why they do not pursue legal action against suspected violations of existing federal (15 U.S.C. § 1) and state (RSA Chapter 356) antitrust laws. The resolution cites rising healthcare costs - now over 20% of the state's economy - as justification for stronger enforcement, noting current pricing practices for pharmaceuticals and services are already illegal under existing law. It does not create new laws or penalties but focuses on transparency and accountability in the Attorney General's enforcement decisions.
