AB 1042, as introduced, Cooper. Proprietary security services.
The Proprietary Security Services Act generally regulates the proprietary private security vocation, and requires a proprietary private security officer to, among other things, register with the Department of Consumer Affairs and complete specified training. The act defines a proprietary private security officer as an unarmed individual who, among other qualifications, meets 2 specific criteria of being required to wear a distinctive uniform clearly identifying him or her as a security officer and of being likely to interact with the public while performing his or her duties.
This bill would expand the definition of a proprietary private security officer by instead requiring one of the 2 specific criteria to be met.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
