HB 214-PUNITIVE DAMAGES AGAINST EMPLOYERS
VICE CHAIR SCOTT OGAN called the Senate Judiciary Standing
Committee meeting to order at 2:00 p.m. Present were Senators
French and Therriault. The first order of business to come
before the committee was HB 214, version Q.
MS. SARA NIELSON, staff to Representative Samuels, offered an
proposed amendment that has language from the VECO case to
define a managerial agent.
SENATOR FRENCH said he worked with the sponsor on this language
and moved to adopt amendment 1. There were no objections and it
was so ordered.
MR. BEN BROWN, Alaska State Chamber of Commerce, supported HB
214. "It's not fair for employers to be saddled with punitive
damages for actions of their employees that are completely
outside the scope of employment...."
2:04 - 2:05 p.m. - at ease
SENATOR THERRIAULT moved to pass SCSHB 214(JUD) from committee

notes. There were no objections and it was so ordered.
