COSAL Opposes Irresponsible Funding Cuts to Antitrust Division
COSAL is one of 38 groups that signed a letter to the House Appropriations Committee opposing funding cuts to the Antitrust Division and harmful provisions that restrict the authority of DOJ to enforce the antitrust laws.
From the letter: We urge you to undo these irresponsible funding cuts, reject the harmful riders currently in the legislation, and honor Senate CJS Subcommittee Chair Jeanne Shaheen’s commitment on the floor of the Senate on March 7, 2024 to remove the language included in the FY24 CJS Appropriations bill that circumvents the clear Congressional intent of the bipartisan Merger Filing Fee Modernization Act (MFFMA) by limiting DOJ Antitrust’s access to funds derived from filing fees.
COSAL is part of a growing coalition of public interest groups and labor unions uniting behind strong antitrust laws and effective enforcement.
