Current law requires DRL to obtain two fingerprint cards from an applicant for a private detective license or private security permit and from an applicant for a credential for which DRL conducts criminal background checks. Also under current law, an employee of certain licensed private detective agencies is not required to obtain a private detective license if the agency furnishes to DRL certain information about its employees, including two fingerprint cards.
Currently, DRL is required to grant a temporary private security permit to an applicant for a private security permit if the applicant requests a temporary permit and DRL is not able to grant or deny a permanent permit because the applicant's background check is not complete. A temporary permit is valid for 30 days or until DRL grants or denies a permanent permit. A temporary permit holder may act in the same manner as a permanent permit holder, except that a temporary permit holder may not carry a dangerous weapon while acting as a private security person.
This bill deletes the requirement that fingerprints be submitted to DRL on two fingerprint cards. Instead, fingerprints must be submitted using a procedure specified by DRL. The bill also deletes the requirement that DRL issue temporary private security permits.

DOA:......Wavrunek, BB0090 - Victim/witness surcharges
For 2007-09 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2007 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: crime victim and witness assistance surcharges imposed on persons committing civil offenses and making an appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Courts and procedure
Other courts and procedure
Under current law, when a court imposes a sentence on a person who has committed a crime or places a person who has committed a crime on probation, the person is required to pay a crime victim and witness assistance surcharge of $60 for each misdemeanor and $85 for each felony. Most of the surcharge (part A) is allocated to fund county programs for crime victims and witnesses and to provide awards to crime victims. The rest of the surcharge (part B) is used for grants to fund services for victims of sexual assaults.
Current law also requires that the crime victim and witness assistance surcharge be imposed in certain cases in which a criminal prosecution is deferred or suspended. Specifically, if a person is charged with a crime for conduct that could also be prosecuted as a civil offense and the person agrees to pay a forfeiture as part of an agreement to have the prosecution deferred or suspended, the court must impose, in addition to the forfeiture, a crime victim and witness assistance surcharge of $60 (if the person was originally charged with a misdemeanor) or $85 (if the person was originally charged with a felony).
This bill revises the criteria for imposing crime victim and witness assistance surcharges in civil offense cases and changes how money collected from those surcharges is used. Under the bill, a court must impose the crime victim and witness assistance surcharge if: 1) a person is charged with one or more crimes in a complaint; 2) as a result of the complaint being amended, the person is charged with a civil offense in lieu of one of those crimes; and 3) the court finds that the person committed that civil offense. In addition, under the bill, all money collected in such cases from crime victim and witness surcharges is "part A money," which must be used to fund county programs for crime victims and witnesses and to provide awards to crime victims.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
