Description: Under existing law, the Electronic Security Board of Licensure licenses and regulates alarm system installers and locksmiths.
This bill would provide that the definition of locksmith includes the installation or service of locks for motor vehicles, would specify that the powers of the board include making inspections relating to unlicensed operations, would authorize licenses to be staggered and issued for a two-year period and would delete the specified date of December 31 of each year for licenses to expire, would specify that businesses selling locks only over the counter or by mail order are exempt under the law and would clarify the application of exemptions, would specify that each offense would be punished as provided by law, and would further provide for civil enforcement of the law by injunctive relief and civil fines.
Under existing law, the licensure law does not apply in counties having a population of 30,000 inhabitants or less according to the most recent decennial census.
This bill would repeal this provision.
