Under federal law, a plaintiff does not have to prove willful conduct to receive treble damages. The current law has the effect of chilling plaintiffs from bringing antitrust cases in Alaska courts, in favor of resolving issues important to Alaska businesses and consumers in the federal courts. I urge your support of this important legislation. Sincerely, /s/ Frank H.
