Georgia Motion Picture Fair Competition Act

Georgia · Commerce and Trade · §§ 10-1-290 to 10-1-290 · 1 section

Overview

This act regulates the licensing of motion pictures to theater operators, targeting the practice of "blind bidding" — requiring exhibitors to commit to showing a film before they have had an opportunity to view it. It prohibits that practice and sets out procedures that distributors must follow when soliciting and accepting bids for exhibition rights. Enforcement is civil, with injunctive relief available to stop violations.
