As introduced, specifies that a commissioned reserve deputy sheriff or commissioned reserve or auxiliary police officer receiving compensation for services as a guard, patrol, or watchperson under a contract with a private business that is properly licensed by the state is exempt from the private protective services licensing and regulation requirements. - Amends TCA Title 38; Title 39 and Title 62, Chapter 35.

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.
