I move amendment No. 2:

In page 9, line 27, after "that," to insert "immediately".

Amendments Nos. 2, 3, 7 and 8 are designed to make the provisions more precise. When the Bill refers to a body or entity that was a public body "prior to enactment", what is meant is a body or entity that was a public body immediately prior to enactment. Amendments Nos. 10 and 11 relate to the definition of "effective date" in section 2. They are purely technical and arise from further legal advice from the Parliamentary Counsel recommending an improvement in the language.
