OPINION: In reissuing the beloved grizzly bear license plate design in 2015, the state missed another chance to right an old wrong. But there's still time to make things right.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska — Alaska drivers will have the choice of a retro look when they obtain new license plates next spring.

The Alaska Legislature approved bringing back the bear plates last session in a bill sponsored by Republican Rep. Peggy Wilson. House Bill 293 passed unanimously in the final days of the session.
