On March 27, the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice launched the Anticompetitive Regulations Task Force to review and advocate for the elimination of anticompetitive state and federal laws and regulations.
Companies in any industry affected by laws or regulations that add “unnecessary barriers to competition” should consider submitting a white paper or other advocacy piece to the Task Force. The submission deadline is May 26.
