Daniel J. Gilman, International Center for Law & Economics:

“SB 1074 would instead impose a de facto ‘guilty-until-proven-innocent’ regime. That approach will generate false positives—many of them—condemning conduct that is procompetitive and pro-consumer. Mounting an affirmative defense will be costly and uncertain. At the same time, the presumption of illegality will encourage less efficient rivals to bring opportunistic suits.”
