CFTC Reauthorization Act

The CFTC Reauthorization Act is legislation that provides funding and updates for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which oversees and regulates futures, options, and derivatives markets in the U.S. It ensures the CFTC has the authority, budget, and modern tools to protect market integrity, promote transparency, and prevent practices that could lead to market manipulation or financial crises. Reauthorization typically occurs periodically to review its functions and adapt regulations to evolving markets.
