Co-Chair Green  recalled that the lingering issue  on this bill "was                                                            
the definition of businesses".

Statute  would be  appropriate, as  it would  clarify any  ambiguity                                                            
that  might exist  between  a  privately  owned lodge  for  personal                                                            
benefit and  a lodge owned  for profit. Inclusion  of the latter  is                                                            
the intent of the bill's sponsor.

14. The amended language would read as follows.                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                
     (c) In this section, "outdoor recreation lodge" means a
