MR. SPEAKER:

    I move that Engrossed Senate Bill 431 be amended to read as follows:

    Page 5, between lines 34 and 35, begin a new paragraph and insert:
    " SECTION 13. IC 13-18-12-8 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS A NEW SECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE UPON PASSAGE]: Sec. 8. (a) If a person who operates a publicly or privately owned wastewater treatment plant:
        (1) discovers that a contaminant has entered the wastewater treatment plant that would pose a threat to human health or animal life if the contaminant is not effectively treated before the contaminant is discharged into the waters of Indiana; and
        (2) determines the wastewater treatment plant is not able to effectively treat the contaminant;
the person must notify the department of the presence of the contaminant at the wastewater treatment plant not more than twenty-four (24) hours after the person determines the wastewater treatment plant is not able to effectively treat the contaminant.
    (b) If the department receives notification from a wastewater treatment plant under subsection (a), the department must:
        (1) notify all appropriate state and local government agencies; and
        (2) begin notifying members of the public who would be adversely affected by a discharge of the contaminant into the

waters of Indiana;
not more than forty-eight (48) hours after receiving the notification under subsection (a).
"
    Renumber all SECTIONS consecutively.
