VIII, 50 D.S. STAT. 693, 15 U.S.C. §1;

STAT. 282, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1 THROUGH 3;

(v) ACT OF MAY 26, 1938, CH. 283, 52 U.S.

(3) IT IS ALSO THE INTENT OF THE GENERAL
ASSEMBLY THAT, IN DECIDING WHETHER CONDUCT RESTRAINS OR
MONOPOLIZES TRADE OR COMMERCE OR MAY SUBSTANTIALLY LESSEN
COMPETITION WITHIN THE STATE, DETERMINATION OF THE
RELEVANT MARKET OR EFFECTIVE AREA OF COMPETITION MAY NOT
BE LIMITED BY THE BOUNDARIES OF THE STATE.

(B) ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS.

(1)    FOR THE PURPOSE AND INTENT STATED IN
SUBSECTION (A) OF THIS SECTION, THIS SUBTITLE SHALL BE
LIBERALLY CONSTRUED TO SERVE ITS BENEFICIAL PURPOSES.

(2)    IT IS ALSO THE INTENT OF THE GENERAL
ASSEMBLY THAT THIS SUBTITLE MAY NOT BE CONSTRUED EITHER:

(i) TO PROHIBIT ACTS OR PRACTICES WHICH ARE
REASONABLE IN RELATION TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND
PRESERVATION OF BUSINESS OR WHICH ARE NOT INJURIOUS TO
THE PUBLIC INTEREST; OR

(ii) TO REPEAL BY IMPLICATION THE FAIR TRADE
ACT CONTAINED IN SUBTITLE 1 OF THIS TITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 83, §36.

In subsection (a)(2), the phrase "but not
limited to" is deleted as unnecessary since
use of the word "including" is not intended in
any sense to be exclusionary or limiting. The
maxim of expressio unius est exclusio alterius
and doctrines of similar implication are not
intended, therefore, to be made applicable by
reason of this deletion.

The only other changes are in style.

11-203. EXEMPTIONS.
