To a race to the bottom /laws

Is that an idiom? "to a race to the bottom"? what does it mean? thanks for your help.
Any idea what might be "laws" here? they are the weakest...

Effective action to hold corporations accountable needs to be federal because the states, left to their own devices, have to compete with one another for businesses to locate in their states. This has led to a race to the bottom for corporate cash. Two-thirds of big corporations in America are now officially headquartered in Delaware, because Delaware’s corporate laws are weakest.
