AS 18.56.088 AS 18.56.096 AS 18.56.850 Editor's note: As of Register 204 (January 2013), the regulations attorney made technical revisions under AS 44.62.125(b)(6), to 15 AAC 155.560. With minor technical adjustments, these revisions conform 15 AAC 155.560, as it appears in print, with amendments that the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation's board of directors adopted on February 9, 2010 and that took effect the same date. Through a clerical error, the text that the corporation staff originally forwarded to the lieutenant governor's office for publication did not conform with what the board of directors actually adopted. ________________________
