Business Council of New York State Fights Proposed Antitrust Legislation
April 22, 2025 - 04:40
The Business Council of New York State has initiated a substantial campaign aimed at blocking a proposed antitrust bill that it claims could have devastating financial implications for the state. According to the Council, the legislation, if enacted, could lead to billions of dollars in costs for businesses operating within New York.
The proposed law aims to increase scrutiny on corporate mergers and acquisitions, as well as expand the powers of state regulators to challenge business practices deemed anti-competitive. The Business Council argues that such measures could stifle economic growth and innovation, ultimately harming consumers and the job market.
Business leaders warn that the bill may deter investment in New York, as companies could face increased legal challenges and regulatory hurdles. The Council is mobilizing its members and reaching out to lawmakers to express concerns, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach to antitrust regulation that protects competition without jeopardizing economic stability. As the debate continues, the future of this legislation remains uncertain.
