The Main Street Competes Act updates a 1980 small business policy law to address how antitrust enforcement affects small companies. It creates a biennial reporting system requiring DOJ and FTC to track complaints, investigations, and enforcement actions related to small businesses, with data sent to the SBA's Office of Advocacy for analysis and reporting to Congress.
Small business owners, the Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy.
The bill increases federal reporting requirements and gives Congress more regular data to evaluate antitrust enforcement, without changing antitrust law or agency powers.
