AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee state law to create an exemption from private protective services licensing and regulation requirements for commissioned reserve deputy sheriffs or commissioned reserve or auxiliary police officers who are receiving compensation for working as guards, patrols, or watchpersons under a contract with a state-licensed private business. Essentially, the legislation allows law enforcement officers working in secondary security roles to be exempt from additional licensing requirements, provided they are working for a properly licensed private business. The bill appears to streamline regulatory requirements for law enforcement personnel taking on supplemental security work, recognizing their existing professional training and credentials. The exemption would be added to Section 62-35-103(a) of the Tennessee Code, and the law would take effect immediately upon becoming official, as determined by the state legislature.
