Primary Sponsor

Ron Johnson

Republican

Session

Regular Session 2014

Title

Security Regulatory Board, regulation of security guards, exemptions for contract security companies under certain conditions restored, Sec. 34-27C-17 am'd.

Summary

HB476 restores exemptions from Security Regulatory Board regulation for small contract security companies and their employees (those with fewer than 100 officers).

What This Bill Does

It amends Section 34-27C-17 to reintroduce exemptions for contract security companies that collectively employ fewer than 100 security officers or armed officers, and for employees of those companies. These exemptions were removed in 2013, and this bill brings them back under certain conditions. As a result, small security firms and their workers would no longer be subject to the chapter’s regulatory requirements by the Security Regulatory Board.

Who It Affects

• Contract security companies with fewer than 100 security officers or armed officers (exempt from the chapter's regulations)
• Employees of those small contract security companies (exempt from the chapter's regulations)

Key Provisions

• Reinstates exemptions for small contract security companies and their employees under Section 34-27C-17, specifically for firms with fewer than 100 officers (or armed officers) and for employees in such firms.
• Adds these exemptions alongside existing exemptions and states the act becomes effective immediately following passage and governor approval.
