9/9/05-Gov. Frank Murkowski has signed a bill into law intended to give small businesses, including trucking operations, in Alaska a voice in the state’s regulatory process.
The new law, previously HB33, requires certain state agencies to consider the potential negative impact of regulation on small businesses and to consider less burdensome alternatives.
Rep. Kevin Meyer, the bill’s sponsor, said the new law would help ensure long-term stability of small business in the state.
“Small business is the dynamo that powers our economy and every dollar a small business put towards complying with cumbersome government regulations is a dollar that cannot be spent expanding the business,” Meyer, R-Anchorage, said in a written statement.
