Competition and Antitrust Law Enforcement Reform Act of 2025

This bill would strengthen antitrust enforcement by revising the standard for evaluating mergers to consider more than just price increases, including quality, choice, innovation, and entry barriers. It establishes a new Office of Competition Advocate within the Federal Trade Commission to monitor competition and recommend enforcement actions, and it allows the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission to seek civil monetary penalties for antitrust violations. The bill also creates stronger whistleblower protections for employees reporting anticompetitive conduct and requires companies to report on the competitive effects of acquisitions. These changes aim to address growing market concentration and anticompetitive practices by large corporations.
