    On page 4, beginning on line 1, strike all of subsection (21) and insert "(21) "Service lateral" means only that portion of an individual customer service line that is owned or operated by the owner of the underground facility."

    On page 5, line 7, after "occur" strike "as a result of" and insert "after"

    On page 6, beginning on line 18, strike all of section 3.

    Correct the title.

EFFECT:  Provides a new definition for service lateral. Specifies that an underground facility owner who is required to subscribe to the one-number locator service and fails to do so, is liable for all damages to the owner's underground facilities and for any other damages that occur after (rather than "as a result of") proper notice of a scheduled excavation through the one-number locator service. Removes the section that finds an owner of an underground facility guilty of a misdemeanor, if the owner of an underground facility located within a one-number locator service area does not subscribe to the one-number locator service.
