FINAL Joint Ad Trade Letter on Alaska HB 159 and SB 116

On behalf of the advertising industry, we oppose Alaska HB 159 and SB 116. We and the companies we represent, many of whom do substantial business in Alaska, strongly believe consumers deserve meaningful privacy protections supported by reasonable government policies. However, HB 159 and SB 116 contain provisions that could hinder Alaskans’ access to valuable ad-supported online resources, impede their ability to exercise choice in the marketplace, and harm businesses of all sizes that support the economy.
