members constitute approximately 70

percent of the available lodging in the

South Lake Tahoe area. The

Commission’s complaint alleges that

SLTLA and its members entered into an

agreement to suspend the use of signs

advertising prices for lodging. The

evidence also shows that the primary

purpose of the agreement was to

increase the room rates charged for

lodging in the South Lake Tahoe area of

Northern California and Nevada and to

end what members saw as a

‘‘destructive’’ price war on motel rooms

in the South Lake Tahoe area by

eliminating the posting of signs

advertising the prices at which its

individual members offer such lodging.

According to the proposed complaint,

the effects of the agreement are that

price competition among providers of

lodging in the South Lake Tahoe area

has been reduced, and consumers have

been deprived of the benefits of readily

available information about the price for

lodging.

The Proposed Order

The proposed Order contains

provisions designed to remedy the

violations charged and to prevent the

respondent from engaging in similar

acts and practices in the future. Part II

of the proposed order would prohibit

SLTLA from carrying out, participating

in, inducing, suggesting, urging,

encouraging, or assisting any agreement,

combination or conspiracy with its

members, or agreement, combination or

conspiracy with some of its members, to

restrict the posting of signs advertising

the prices at which its individual

members offer lodging. Part II would not

bar SLTLA from exercising rights

protected under the First Amendment to

the United States Constitution to

petition any federal, state or local

government executive agency or

legislative body concerning legislation,

rules, programs, or procedures, or to

participate in any federal, state or local

administrative or judicial proceeding.

The proposed order also requires the

respondent to amend its corporate bylaws to incorporate by reference

Paragraph II of this Order; to distribute

a copy of the amended by-laws to each

of its members; to provide a copy of the

consent agreement and complaint to all

of its current members and to any new

members for a period of five (5) years;

and to file one or more reports detailing

compliance with the order.

The purpose of this analysis is to

invite public comment on the proposed

order. This analysis is not intended to

constitute an official interpretation of

the agreement and proposed order or to

modify their terms in any way.

By direction of the Commission.

Donald S. Clark,

Secretary.
