202	202	20 Sec. 7.2a. Notification to the Attorney General.
203	203	21 (a) It is the intent of the General Assembly to ensure that
204	204	22 competition beneficial to consumers and workers in health care
205	205	23 markets across the State is vigorous and robust. When health
206	206	24 care businesses compete, consumers benefit from higher quality
207	207	25 services at reasonable prices, and health care workers benefit

218	218	1 from higher wages and better conditions of employment which in
219	219	2 turn improves patient care. The General Assembly supports that
220	220	3 intent through this Section, which provides the Attorney
221	221	4 General with notice of all material health care facility
222	222	5 transactions in this State. The notice requirement will give
223	223	6 the Attorney General information necessary to determine
224	224	7 whether an investigation under this Act is warranted to
225	225	8 determine whether a proposed transaction may substantially
226	226	9 lessen competition, result in anticompetitive conduct, or
227	227	10 potentially harm consumers or workers. This Section is
228	228	11 intended to supplement the federal Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
229	229	12 Improvements Act of 1976, 15 U.S.C. 18a, by requiring notice
230	230	13 of transactions not reportable under Hart-Scott-Rodino
231	231	14 reporting thresholds and by providing the Attorney General
232	232	15 with a copy of any filings made pursuant to the
233	233	16 Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

378	378	17 health care facility has engaged in or is engaging in a covered
379	379	18 transaction without complying with the provisions of this
380	380	19 Section, the Attorney General may apply for and obtain, in an
381	381	20 action in the Circuit Court of Sangamon or Cook County, a
382	382	21 temporary restraining order or injunction, or both,
383	383	22 prohibiting the health care facility from continuing its
384	384	23 noncompliance or doing any act in furtherance thereof. The
385	385	24 court may make such further orders or judgments, at law or in
