AB779,1,3
1An Act to renumber and amend 440.26 (5m) (a) 2.; and
to create 440.26 (5m)
2(a) 2. b. of the statutes;
relating to: eligibility requirements for private security
3permits.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, certain individuals who are employed to perform private
security activities, such as patrolling private property, must obtain a private security
permit from the department of regulation and licensing (DORL). An individual is not
eligible for such a permit if he or she has been convicted of a felony, unless he or she
has been pardoned for that felony.
This bill provides that an individual who has been convicted of a felony and has
not been pardoned for that felony is eligible for a private security permit if the
conduct on which the felony conviction is based is no longer punishable as a felony
under state law in effect at the time that the individual applies for the permit. In
addition, the individual must have no other felony conviction subsequent to the
conviction that is no longer punishable as a felony.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
