Bill Summary

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 law to create a specific exemption from private protective services licensing and regulation requirements for commissioned reserve deputy sheriffs or commissioned reserve/auxiliary police officers who are receiving compensation for working as guards, patrols, or watchpersons under a contract with a state-licensed private business. In other words, these part-time or reserve law enforcement officers can now work additional security jobs for private companies without having to obtain a separate private protective services license. The bill provides this exemption as a new provision within the existing Tennessee Code related to private protective services, and it will take effect immediately upon becoming law. This change potentially makes it easier for reserve or auxiliary law enforcement personnel to supplement their income by working private security jobs without additional administrative burdens.
