Across the federal bureaucracy, there is an expectation that Biden's regulatory and enforcement agencies will take a more broadly focused consumer protection lane.
The plaintiff states will divide the settlement funds. California, Connecticut, New York, Georgia and the District of Columbia were among the states that challenged the proposed $54 billion tie-up.
Uber Technologies Inc. has hired a veteran lobbyist in Washington, D.C., to pursue the ride-hailing companys agenda on policies related to health care and medical-records privacy.
Zenefits has settled similar improper-licensing claims with regulators in at least seven other states this year: Arizona, Delaware, Minnesota, New Jersey, South Carolina, Tennessee and Washington.
