  We study the role of electron-electron interactions near integer and abelian
fractional quantum Hall (QH) transitions using composite fermion (CF)
representations. Interaction effects are encapsulated in CF theories as gauge
fluctuations. Without gauge fluctuations, the CF system realizes a `dual'
representation of the non-interacting QH transition. With gauge fluctuations,
the system is governed by a gauged nonlinear sigma model (NLSM) with a
$\theta-$term. While the transition is described by a strong-coupling fixed
point of the NLSM, we are nevertheless able to deduce two of its properties.
With $1/r$ interactions, 1) the transition has a dynamical exponent $z=1$, and
2) all transitions are `superuniversal': fractional and integer QH transitions
are in the same universality class. With short-range interactions, $z=2$ and
the fate of superuniversality remains unclear.
