SECURITY PROVIDER ADVISORY COMM. - S.B. 420 (S-1): FLOOR ANALYSIS

Senate Bill 420 (Substitute S-1 as reported)

Sponsor: Senator Gary Peters

CONTENT

The bill would amend the Private Security Business and Security Alarm Act to create a "Security Provider Advisory Commission" within the Department of State Police and require it to establish minimum mandatory training standards for private security guards, private security police, and private detectives acting as private security guards or private security police. The bill also would require the Department to consider the training requirements recommended by the commission, and to adopt training requirements.

Commission members would have to include up to seven individuals from the public and private sectors, as determined by the Department Director. One member would have to be a member of the Commission on Law Enforcement Standards. Within six months after its creation, the commission would have to establish minimum mandatory training standards for private security guards, private security police, and private detectives licensed under the Private Detective License Act who were acting as private security guards or private security police and, as such, were exempt from licensure under the Private Security Business and Security Alarm Act. Upon establishing the standards, the commission immediately would have to convey a copy of the standards to the Director, and could recommend the adoption of those standards.

Within one month after receiving the training standards, the Director would have to consider any commission recommendation and decide whether to adopt the standards, in whole or in part. The Department would have to adopt training requirements acceptable to the State Police Director by rule or as otherwise provided by law.

The bill is tie-barred to Senate Bill 421, which would require a licensed private detective to comply with the training requirements, if acting as a private security guard or private security police.
