HB 1415 amends Oklahoma's antitrust law to strengthen enforcement against violations affecting consumers and businesses. It allows injured parties to recover triple damages plus attorney fees (Section 205), while permitting the state Attorney General to pursue civil penalties of up to $1 million per violation (Section 206), considering factors like the violation's severity and impact on consumers. The bill also establishes a 4-year statute of limitations for claims and classifies certain antitrust violations as a felony punishable by fines up to $10,000 per violation after November 1, 2025. It directly affects businesses violating antitrust rules, consumers harmed by such violations, and the state in enforcing these provisions.
