This act states that corporations must file contracts affecting interstate or international trade with the Interstate Commerce Commission, which then has the ability to determine if those contracts represent an unreasonable restraint of trade. The commission will also create an index of such contracts, as well as the companies, which will be available to the public. Companies will also be required to periodically update the information they have on file with the Commissioner of Corporations.
