The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is one of the independent agencies expected to undergo considerable changes in rulemaking priorities once President-elect Trump enters office. Chairwoman Lina Khan is expected to step down in the early days of the Trump administration. Trump will name a Republican acting chairperson, leading to an equal 2-2 partisan split in the commission until his nominee for chairperson is confirmed by the Senate.

On Aug. 30, 2023, the Department of Labor (DOL) a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) about employer obligations related to overtime pay. The NPRM would put significant new burdens on a variety of industries, financial institutions and other businesses to offer overtime pay (time-and-a-half) to a much larger portion of their employees. The proposal is similar to a 2016 rule promulgated by the DOL under the Obama administration that was ultimately held up by a federal court in Texas.
