Hart-Scott-Rodino Act
Legislation in the United States requiring any investor or company that buys 15% of equity or more than $15 million in stock in a publicly-traded company to register with the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission. It requires the same registration from some mergers and acquisitions. Once this registration occurs, those organizations have 30 days to determine whether the transaction violates any antitrust laws or regulations. During this time, the transaction is not allowed to close.
