Small Business Majority submits comments to DOJ’s Anticompetitive Regulations Task Force

On May 21, Small Business Majority submitted comments in response to the U.S. Department of Justice’s Anticompetitive Regulations Task Force invitation for public comments to identify regulations that raise barriers to competition for small businesses. Our comments underscore how a broader lack of regulation and antitrust enforcement has made it more difficult for small businesses to compete on a level playing field. Specifically, the comments address the need for competition in the healthcare industry, the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) absent enforcement of the Robinson Patman Act (RPA), and the importance of implementing the FTC’s 2024 final rule to ban non-compete agreements which has been placed on hold by a federal court.
