nonexclusive and provides for additional circumstances to be included in the definition of
"Excavation" or "excavate".
Present law enumerates certain holidays to be observed by regional notification centers as defined
in present law. Proposed law adds Memorial Day and Christmas Eve to the list of holidays to be
observed by regional notification centers.
