Amend the bill, as and if amended, SECTION 1, by striking Section 27-40-350(A) and inserting:

  (1) terminate the protected tenant's future obligations under a rental agreement within sixty days of the date of the documented qualifying incident; and
  (2) not be held liable for penalties or fees that might otherwise be imposed for the termination of the protected tenant's obligations under a rental agreement within sixty days of the documented qualifying incident.; provided, however, that the protected tenant shall be liable for any damage to the premises prior to the termination and no security deposits will be required to be returned until the end of the lease if such is due to be returned under the terms of the lease.

Amend the bill further, SECTION 1, by striking Section 27-40-350(C) and inserting:

Amend the bill further, SECTION 2, by striking Section 27-40-210(19) and inserting:
