      1.  On page 5, between lines 9 and 10, insert the following new
  subsection:
  
          "F.  A municipality that acquires, maintains, contracts for
  or condemns privately owned electric facilities for use as a
  municipal utility pursuant to the provisions of Subsection E of this
  section shall:
  
               (1)  not use revenues earned from the electric
  facilities for any purposes other than those directly related to the
  furnishing and supply of electricity to the municipality or
  inhabitants within the service area; 
  
               (2)  not restrict use of the electric facilities or
  distribution system to any person authorized to use the facilities
  or distribution system pursuant to state law; and 
  
               (3)  adopt a shared payment policy for line
  extensions, with public input, that is fair and equitable, requiring
  reasonable contributions from the persons who will directly benefit
  from the line extension and not imposing an unreasonable burden on
  the municipality or inhabitants within the service area that do not
  directly benefit from the line extension.".
  
      2.  Reletter the succeeding subsection accordingly and adjust
  cross-references to correspond with these amendments.
