in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

When the U.S. Attorney General sues under the antitrust laws and believes a state attorney general could bring a similar case on the same violation, the U.S. Attorney General must promptly tell that state. On request, the U.S. Attorney General must also share investigative files and other relevant material to help the state's case, as far as the law allows.

(a) Notification to State attorney general — Whenever the United States' Attorney General brings a lawsuit under the antitrust laws, and has reason to believe a state's attorney general could bring a similar lawsuit under this Act based on substantially the same violation, the U.S. Attorney General must promptly send that state attorney general written notice of it. (b) Availability of files and other materials — To help a state attorney general evaluate that notice, or bring their own lawsuit under this Act, the U.S. Attorney General must — if the state attorney general asks, and to the extent the law allows — share investigative files or other materials that are or might be relevant to the actual or potential case.
