Amendment No. 11 proposes that the definition of "applicant" would also include a person who makes an application for a certificate on behalf of another person. The current definition makes it clear that "applicant" includes a person who applies for a certificate and a person on whose behalf someone else applies for a certificate.

The original wording is broad enough to address an applicant. If one examines page 9, the first definition in section 6(16) states: ""applicant" includes a person on whose behalf another person applies for a certificate". Senator Cummins's adviser is shifting a definition from one part of the section to another.
