Overview

  • The Anticompetitive Regulations Task Force will review state and federal laws that hinder competition, with a focus on housing, transportation, food and agriculture, healthcare, and energy.
  • A 60-day public comment period, open until May 26, 2025, invites stakeholders to identify regulations that create barriers to competition.
  • The Task Force will collaborate with federal and state agencies to revise or eliminate rules that disproportionately impact small businesses and entrepreneurs.
  • This effort builds on the Justice Department's history of advocating for free markets and opposing regulatory capture that benefits powerful corporations over the public.
  • The initiative supports President Trump's executive orders aimed at reducing regulatory burdens and fostering competitive, consumer-driven markets.
