DOJ Launches Deregulation Task Force
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.
Companies interested in submitting a comment should consider working with counsel to prepare a white paper or similar advocacy piece that (1) clearly identifies the law or regulation at issue, (2) explains the desired outcome, whether repealing or amending the law or regulation at issue, (3) explains the burdens associated with the law or regulation and how those burdens affect American households, and (4) explains how those burdens create unnecessary barriers to competition or hinder free market competition.
