U.S. Chamber urges Seventh Circuit to hold that state price-control law violates Commerce Clause’s extraterritoriality principle, which bars a State from directly regulating out-of-state transactions between parties with no connection to the State

Morgan L. Ratner, Yaira Dubin, and Zachary D. Huffman of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP served as outside counsel.
