A combination of federal and state laws regulate businesses of all kinds and sizes, including rules for financial reporting, consumer protection measures, and environmental regulations. Antitrust laws, enforced primarily at the federal level, are intended to foster more competition by discouraging the formation of monopolies or other unfair business combinations or schemes. But Kentucky and other states also have antitrust laws, which are enforced primarily where the federal government lacks jurisdiction or interest. Deceptive trade practice laws, meanwhile, prohibit such tactics as false advertising and automobile odometer tampering.
