Competition and Antitrust Law Enforcement Reform Act of 2025

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill changes the rules about when companies are allowed to merge together. It makes it harder for mergers to go through by blocking deals that could meaningfully reduce competition or create a situation where one buyer or employer has too much power to push down prices or wages. For very large mergers, the companies trying to merge would have to prove the deal doesn't break the law, instead of the government having to prove it does. The bill also bans certain unfair business practices that hurt competition, creates new penalties for violations, sets up a new office within the Federal Trade Commission to promote competition, and protects whistleblowers who report problems.
