Bill Summary
The proposal would change antitrust laws to allow the government to force companies to sell off parts of their business if they complete mergers or acquisitions that are found to harm competition. This gives federal regulators a stronger tool to break up deals they believe would reduce consumer choice or unfairly advantage large corporations, affecting businesses across industries and ultimately the prices and options available to consumers.
