Hearing:

Committee on Small Business
Tuesday, March 1, 2022 (10:00 AM)
2360 RHOB
Washington, D.C.
The Committee on Small Business will hold a hybrid hearing titled: “Competition and the Small
Business Landscape: Fair Competition and a Level Playing Field.” The hearing is scheduled to
begin at 10:00 A.M. on Tuesday, March 1, 2022 in Room 2360 of the Rayburn House Office
Building. Participating members can also join remotely via Zoom.
Antitrust laws exist to promote competition and prohibit anti-competitive behavior by large
firms. However, the U.S. economy has seen continued concentration among its industries since
the 1970s. Although this issue is traditionally viewed through the lens of consumers,
consolidated industries can be particularly harmful to small firms and new startups. This hearing
will examine the history of antitrust law and the historical importance of encouraging fair
competition and their potential impacts on small firms. Members will hear from a variety of
experts about competition policy through the lens of American small firms.
