Error Notice:


The Alaska Trucking Association’s Jul, Aug, Sep Quarterly Newsletter, the “Alaska Trucker”, incorrectly identified the prime sponsor of HB 366, MOTOR CARRIER INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS.  The prime sponsor was Representative Craig Johnson (R), District 28 in Anchorage.  Representative Johnson is the Vice Chair of the House Transportation Committee and the Co-Chairman of the House Resources Committee.  Co-sponsor Representative Max Gruenberg (D), District 20, Anchorage, was correctly identified.  We sincerely regret the error and will print a correction in our next quarterly newsletter.  We want to be sure to give credit to Representative Johnson for his outstanding effort in turning HB366 into law.  Thanks again, Representative Johnson.
