Justice Department Launches Task Force to Dismantle Anticompetitive Regulations

The initiative, aligned with President Trump's deregulatory agenda, begins a 60-day public comment period to identify harmful laws in key economic sectors.

• 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.
