Title III of the Act allows States to sue companies in Federal Court for Monetary Damages under antitrust laws on behalf of their citizens; previously, only the persons harmed by anticompetitive activity had a right to sue for damages. Title III is in substance the original bill introduced in the House Of Representatives by Congressman Peter W. Rodino, Jr. ; the other titles of the Act were added as the bill was amended during Congesssional deliberations. The HSR Act is named after Senators Philip A. Hart and Hugh D. Scott, Jr. , in addition to Representative Rodino. EXTERNAL LINKS |
