I move amendment No. 60:

In page 51, between lines 2 and 3, to insert the following:

"Changing Employer

34. (1) A foreign national that has been granted an employment permit shall be permitted to change employer—

(a)after an initial period of 12 months has elapsed since the foreign national concerned first commenced employment in the State pursuant to an employment permit granted to him or her, or

(b)in instances where it has been demonstrated that the foreign national has suffered exploitation, or any other unforeseen circumstances as determined by the Minister in regulation.

(2) A foreign national shall be required to notify the Minister of the change of employer through a notification procedure as determined by the Minister in regulation and shall not be required to complete a new employment permit application.".
