SENATOR KELLY announced  CSHB 277(JUD)  (INDEMNIFICATION OF PUBLIC            
 EMPLOYEES) to be up for consideration.                                        
                                                                               
 ERIC MUSSER, Legislative Aide to Representative Brian Porter, said            
 essentially, HB 277 to a public employee is the same as an officers           
 and directors liability policy in the private sector.  The would              
 cover a gap in non covered employees.  The Municipality of                    
 Anchorage asked them to introduce this legislation.  This gives the           
 lending community reassurance that there are provisions for defense           
 and/or indemnification.                                                       
                                                                               
 MR. MUSSER said on page 5, line 1, they had no problem with                   
 removing the word "oral."                                                     
                                                                               
 Number 127                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR LINCOLN moved on page 5, line 1 to delete "oral."  There

 SENATOR RIEGER moved to insert "written and expressed" on line 2.
