Freedom to Compete Act of 2025

The Freedom to Compete Act of 2025 would take Executive Order 14267, which aims to reduce anti-competitive regulatory barriers, and place it into law by codifying it. In practical terms, the bill would give the policy articulated in EO 14267 the force of statute across federal agencies, meaning its requirements and goals would be binding as a matter of law rather than solely as administrative guidance. The overarching aim is to lower unnecessary regulatory obstacles that can hinder competition, entry for new firms, and consumer choice, thereby promoting a more competitive economy. Because the bill does not reproduce the EO’s text or specifics, the exact regulatory actions required would depend on the content of EO 14267 and how courts interpret the codified provision.
