FTC’s Khan and Commissioners to Testify Before House Panel on July 9

FTC Chair Lina Khan and all four commissioners will testify July 9 during a budget hearing before the House Innovation Subcommittee, the House Commerce Committee announced Tuesday. The FTC’s “mission is to ensure that it enhances consumer welfare without imposing undue burdens on business,” House Commerce Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., said in a statement with House Innovation Subcommittee Chairman Gus Bilirakis, R-Fla. “We have been very clear over the last few years via hearings, letters, and legislation when we have seen a departure from that mission.”
