11  Senator Wasserman Schultz moved the following amendment:
12  
13         Senate Amendment 
14         On page 7, line 25, after the period
15  
16  insert:    If a nursing home on the watch list fails to comply
17  with the minimum-staffing requirements in this
18  sub-subparagraph for 2 consecutive days, it may not accept new
19  admissions until it has achieved the minimum-staffing
20  requirements for 6 consecutive days. A resident of the
21  facility who is absent from the facility for medical treatment
22  at a separate location is considered to be on a leave of
23  absence. A resident of a continuing care facility, as defined
24  in s. 651.011(9), is not considered a new admission. Failure
25  to impose an admissions moratorium is a class II deficiency.
