The group said that, in turn, results in "onerous new burdens on businesses." The Chamber of Commerce sued the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to challenge a new rule barring noncompete clauses in employment contracts. Such rules "often raise major legal and policy questions on which Congress would be expected to have a view, without specific congressional authorization," it said.
"Administrative regulations reined in dangerous industry activities, and our society became safer and more prosperous," the senators said, describing the bid to overturn the doctrine as "a decades-long effort by pro-corporate interests to eviscerate the federal government's regulatory apparatus, to the detriment of the American people."
