Bipartisan Resolution Calls for FTC Investigation into Fire Truck Industry Practices
A bipartisan group of lawmakers, including Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jim Banks, and Representatives Becca Balint and Ben Cline, have introduced a resolution directing the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate potential anticompetitive practices in the fire truck manufacturing industry. The resolution is supported by the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) and the American Economic Liberties Project. It aims to address concerns over market consolidation, which has led to increased prices and delivery delays for fire trucks. The investigation will explore the financial and operational impacts on fire departments and municipalities, and suggest possible legislative or regulatory remedies.
