13         Senate Amendment 
14         On page 7, between lines 25 and 26,
15  
16  insert:  
17         7.  If a nursing home on the watch list fails to comply
18  with the minimum-staffing requirements in this subparagraph
19  for 2 consecutive days, it may not accept new admissions until
20  it has achieved the minimum-staffing requirements for 6
21  consecutive days. A resident of the facility who is absent
22  from the facility for medical treatment at a separate location
23  is considered to be on a leave of absence. A resident of a
24  continuing care facility, as defined in s. 651.011(9), is not
25  considered a new admission. Failure to impose an admissions
26  moratorium is a class II deficiency.
