Summary

Federal Trade Commission Improvements Act of 1980 - Amends the Federal Trade Commission Act to terminate the authority of the Commission to issue an order requiring a person, partnership, or corporation to cease and desist from using an unfair method of competition. Authorizes the Commission to institute a civil action in any appropriate district court of the United States to request that the court enter such a cease and desist order. Directs the court to enter such order as it deems appropriate if it finds that the method of competition in question is prohibited by such Act and that enjoining the method serves the public interest.
