Once again, the Senate Judiciary Committee has taken a step toward the passage of legislation to overturn the effect of Leegin Creative Leather Products, Inc. v. PSKS, Inc. On November 3, 2011, the U. S. Senate Committee reported the passage of the proposed “Discount Pricing Consumer Protection Act,” a bill sponsored by Senator Kohl of Wisconsin. This is the same bill that has been introduced in prior years, as reported in The GPMemorandum. We will continue to monitor the progress (if any) of this legislation.
