Title

Electronic Security Board of Licensure, camera systems including digital video recorders that do not trigger an alarm to the police department or alarm monitoring company, business or person selling or installing exempt from licensure, Sec. 34-1A-6 am'd.

Summary

HB83 would exempt certain camera system installers and sellers from licensure by the Alabama Electronic Security Board of Licensure if their equipment does not trigger alarms.

What This Bill Does

The bill amends Section 34-1A-6 to add a new exemption for those who install or sell camera systems, including digital video recorders, that do not trigger an alarm to the police or an alarm monitoring company. This means such entities would not need licensure from the state's Electronic Security Board of Licensure. The exemption takes effect on the first day of the third month after the bill is passed and approved by the Governor.

Who It Affects

• Camera system installers and sellers whose equipment does not trigger alarms (they would be exempt from licensure).
• The Alabama Electronic Security Board of Licensure (the regulatory body), which would see a change in the number of licensees it oversees due to this exemption.

Key Provisions

• Adds new exemption (15) to Section 34-1A-6 for persons or entities that install or sell camera systems including DVRs that do not trigger an alarm to the police department or alarm monitoring company.
• Exemption applies specifically to equipment that does not trigger an alarm.
• Effective date: the first day of the third month following passage and governor's approval.
• Other existing exemptions in Section 34-1A-6 remain in effect; licensure rules for alarm-triggering systems are unchanged for those cases.
