Requires the FTC to have at least three Commissioners present for major policy decisions.
This bill would require the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to have at least three of its Commissioners present to make important decisions about new rules or policies. This change would affect how the FTC creates guidance for businesses and consumers.
Today, the Federal Trade Commission Act does not require a specific number of Commissioners to be present for actions that establish, revise, or rescind generally applicable policy, guidance, or interpretations. If this bill becomes law, starting January 20, 2029, the FTC would always need at least three Commissioners present for certain actions. This includes setting, changing, or canceling general policies, guidance, or rules.
