Bill > S04891

This bill amends the New York General Business Law to expand an existing exemption from security guard training requirements. Currently, correction officers from state correctional facilities are exempt from security guard training requirements. The proposed legislation would broaden this exemption to include correction officers from any penal correctional institution who have peace officer powers, as defined under section 2.10, subdivision twenty-five of the criminal procedure law. By making this change, the bill ensures that correction officers from a wider range of correctional institutions will not need to complete additional security guard training, recognizing that their professional training and law enforcement powers already provide them with sufficient qualifications for security-related work. The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment.
