Constitutional basis for legislation Congress derived its power to pass the Sherman Act through its constitutional authority to regulate interstate commerce. Therefore, Federal courts only have jurisdiction to apply the Act to conduct that restrains or substantially affects either interstate commerce or trade within the District of Columbia. This requires the plaintiff must show that the conduct occurred during the flow of interstate commerce or had an appreciable effect on some activity that occurs during interstate commerce. [edit] Elements A Section 1 violation has three elements:[16] An agreement which unreasonably restrains competition and which affects interstate commerce.

1999 Stalking Law changes. 1) Menacing by Stalking, a misdemeanor 1st degree, is enhanced on a second offense to a felony 5th degree regardless of whether the offenses involved the same victim. Multiple convictions of telephone harassment, regardless if the same victim is involved, is also a felony (except when there are only threats to property). (Eff. 3-30-99) 2) Stalking is enhanced to a Felony 4th degree for any of the nine factors listed in Section (B)(2), including priors, use of threats, trespassing, victim is a minor, history of violence, had a weapon, under protection order, serious damage to property, or prior mental illness.

(eff.10-27-99) 1999 - Penalty for hit and skip drivers is increased to a felony.

The law also specifically states that an invitation by the victim does not nullify the order and that victim advocates are allowed to accompany the victim throughout the proceedings. (ORC 2930.214, Eff. 7-29-98) 1998 - Due to problems with judges dismissing domestic violence cases against the prosecutors wishes, the law was amended so that a judge does not have the authority to dismiss criminal charges solely at the request of the complaining w
