Directing the Federal Trade Commission to investigate and report on anticompetitive practices and violations of the antitrust laws in the fire truck manufacturing industry.

This joint resolution would direct the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate possible anticompetitive practices and antitrust law violations in the fire truck manufacturing industry. Within 1 year of adoption, the FTC would report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees on practices such as price fixing, price gouging, serial acquisitions, and monopolization. The report would also cover effects on fire fighters, fire departments, states, municipalities, and small businesses, and include recommendations for legislation or other actions. If a company does not answer FTC information requests on time, the FTC would report that company's conduct to the Judiciary Committees.
