One Agency Act

HR 384, the One Agency Act, transfers primary antitrust enforcement authority from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division. The bill requires the transfer of all FTC antitrust cases, employees, assets, and funding to the DOJ within a transition period of up to 18 months. During this period, the FTC is prohibited from opening new antitrust investigations or taking enforcement actions, while the DOJ assumes responsibility for ongoing cases. This consolidation aims to improve efficiency and reduce duplication in antitrust enforcement under a single agency.
