     1 35 amended by adding the following new subsection:
     1 36    NEW SUBSECTION.  15.  Apply to a person performing
     1 37 any installation on a farm, if the person is associated
     1 38 with the farm as a holder of a legal or equitable
     1 39 interest, a relative or employee of the holder, or
     1 40 an operator or manager of the farm.  The provisions

     1 45 a farm building to qualify under this subsection, it
     1 46 cannot regularly be open to the public as a place of
     1 47 business for the retail sale of goods, wares, services,
     1 48 or merchandise.>
