I move amendment No. 23:

In page 12, between lines 21 and 22, to insert the following:

" "owner", in relation to a nursing home, includes a person managing a nursing home, mental health facility, or residential facility for persons with disabilities, or a director (including a shadow director within the meaning of section 222 of the Act of 2014) of, or a shareholder in or an employee or agent of, a company which owns or manages such a home or facility;".

This is a minor drafting amendment that moves the definition of "owner" which is already found in sections 24 and 40 of the Bill into section 2, the general interpretation section. Amendments Nos. 160 and 203 are consequential amendments that delete the definition of "owner" from section 24 and 40 respectively.
