Summary Box: Business braces for more regulation
Text Size 
NEW REGULATION: Analysts expect the financial meltdown and concerns about climate change, food safety and other issues will lead to a wave of new regulation next year, no matter who is elected president.
BUSINESSES RESPOND: Business groups are preparing for the change by warning that too many new rules could make the current economic slowdown worse. They also are seeking to use major regulatory changes to promote their own priorities.
AFFECTED INDUSTRIES: Lobbyists for the financial sector, energy companies and the health care industry are among those bracing for new rules.
