Merger Enforcement Improvement Act

This bill modifies antitrust enforcement requirements regarding mergers (acquisitions by one corporation of the voting securities or assets of another). Specifically, the bill:

• adjusts premerger notification filing fees;
• requires certain filers to report to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or to the relevant Assistant Attorney General on information that allows the government to assess the competitive impact of a merger;
• requires the FTC to study overlapping ownership or control by investors in certain markets; and
• requires the Government Accountability Office to assess the success of certain merger remedies and the impact of mergers and acquisitions on wages, employment, innovation, and new business formation.
