AI Summary

This bill amends California's Private Security Services Act to modify training requirements for security guards. The bill requires that training in the exercise of the power to arrest and appropriate use of force must be administered and certified by a single course provider and completed within 6 months before submitting an application to the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services. A licensee (a private security company) can now administer, test, and certify these trainings, but only for their own employment applicants and direct employees. The bill also updates application requirements to reflect the new 6-month training completion window, mandating that applicants provide details about their training course, including the course provider, instructor, and certificate serial number. Additionally, the bill specifies that security guard registrants must complete 32 hours of security officer skills training within six months of initial registration, with 16 hours completed within the first 30 days. The bill expands the scope of existing criminal provisions, which triggers the state's local program reimbursement procedures, though in this case, no reimbursement will be required. The changes aim to standardize and improve the training process for private security guards in California.
