Today, Nevada's Attorney General Aaron Ford celebrates the passage of his price-fixing bill through both houses of the Nevada Legislature.
According to a release from the Attorney General's office, Assembly Bill 44 (AB44) would prohibit unfair and deceptive price-fixing of the prices we pay for essential goods and services, such as food, clothing and footwear, gas and medication, among others.
The Attorney General said that passing this bill was one of his core goals during the current Legislative Session.
"The passage of this bill is a victory for all Nevadans. It gives my office the tools we need to fight predatory practices that strain folks' wallets and directly affect their bottom line," said AG Ford.
AB44 also provides the Office of the Attorney General with the authority to enforce the bill, under the Nevada Unfair Trade Practice Act.
