Directing the Federal Trade Commission to investigate and report on anticompetitive practices and violations of the antitrust laws in the fire truck manufacturing industry.
This bill directs the Federal Trade Commission to investigate and report on alleged antitrust violations within the fire truck manufacturing industry. The resolution specifically examines issues such as price fixing, price gouging, serial acquisitions, and monopolization that have led to rising costs and long delivery times for fire departments. By citing concerns over market consolidation and safety risks from outdated equipment, the bill aims to gather facts on how these practices affect public safety and local governments. The FTC is required to submit its findings and recommendations to Congress within one year of the bill's adoption.
