     3    20. "Small business" as used in this section, unless  otherwise  indi-
     4  cated,  shall  mean a business which has a significant business presence
     5  in the state, is independently owned and operated, not dominant  in  its
     6  field and employs, based on its industry, a certain number of persons as
     7  determined  by  the  director, but not to exceed three hundred employees
     8  who work thirty or more hours per week, on average over  the  period  of
     9  fifty-two  weeks,  taking  into consideration factors which include, but
    10  are not limited to,  federal  small  business  administration  standards

    12  issue regulations on the construction of the terms in this definition.

    15  section  one of this act shall not affect the repeal of such section and
    16  shall be deemed repealed therewith.
