    INTRODUCTION

    ## Legislative bill overview

    This bill establishes a task force to study the business practices and industry impacts of major e-commerce companies that operate in the state. The goal is to determine if these large platforms create unfair competition for small businesses and to make recommendations on potential regulations.

    ## Why is this important

    As e-commerce grows, there are valid concerns about the outsized influence of dominant platforms and their potential anti-competitive practices. This task force would analyze the landscape in an objective way to inform potential policy solutions that protect consumers and small businesses in the state.

    ## Potential points of contention


    • Defining criteria for platforms to be studied

    • Ensuring the task force membership represents key perspectives

    • Balancing platform interests with small business and consumer interests

    • Developing policy recommendations that foster competition without overregulation
