This bill seeks to prohibit the abuse of dominant position in business, trade, commerce, labor markets, or services in Minnesota. The bill outlines the methods to establish a dominant position, which can be through direct or indirect evidence. Direct evidence includes the unilateral power to set prices or terms, use of non-compete clauses, inability to face competitive pressures among others. Indirect evidence includes market share, with a presumption of dominance at 40% or more as a seller or 30% or more as a buyer. The bill also describes abuse of dominant position as actions meant to eliminate, discipline a competitor, or deter new entrants, leading to less competition.
