California’s AB 325 takes effect January 1, 2026, and will bring heightened scrutiny to algorithm-driven pricing. The law restricts the use of common pricing algorithms, prohibits pressuring firms to follow algorithmic recommendations, and lowers the pleading standard for Cartwright Act claims. With SB 763 increasing penalties, more cases are expected to move forward and into discovery. At Vega Economics, we help litigation teams evaluate algorithmic conduct and assess competitive effects as these new standards take hold.
