Bill > AB1364

This bill makes a technical amendment to the existing Private Security Services Act, which regulates private security guards and patrol operators. The bill modifies Section 7583.6 of the Business and Professions Code, primarily updating language from "Each" to "An" in the section describing training requirements for security guard registration. The bill maintains existing requirements that security guard applicants must complete a course on the exercise of arrest powers and appropriate use of force. It continues to mandate that new security guards complete 32 hours of training within six months of initial registration, with 16 of those hours completed within the first 30 days. The bill specifies that training can be administered by licensed entities, certified training facilities, or bureau-approved organizations. Security guards must maintain completion certificates and provide them to employers, and annual refresher training of 8 hours is required. The bill explicitly excludes peace officers and federal law enforcement officers from these training requirements. Notably, the bureau is tasked with developing a standardized course curriculum in consultation with the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, with the provisions becoming operative on July 1, 2023.
