Bill overview
The One Agency Act proposes to consolidate antitrust enforcement within the Department of Justice, transferring all current functions, employees, and funding from the Federal Trade Commission. The bill argues that the current system, with overlapping responsibilities between the FTC and DOJ, has been inefficient and created uncertainty for businesses. It aims to streamline antitrust enforcement by giving the DOJ primary authority and responsibility for investigating and prosecuting antitrust violations. The Act establishes a transition period for the transfer of these functions and outlines procedures for ensuring a smooth handover.
