Bill > SB1864

This bill amends Tennessee law concerning private security by adding stalking to the list of crimes that require an individual to have completed their sentence or probation at least five years prior to applying for a security guard or officer registration card, and also clarifies exemptions for certain law enforcement officers and reserve officers, establishes new requirements for reporting arrests and convictions for security personnel, and modifies regulations regarding the use of uniforms and the authority of local governments to regulate security businesses. Specifically, it introduces a requirement for individuals convicted of stalking to wait five years after completing their sentence before becoming a registered security professional, creates exemptions for reserve, part-time, and auxiliary officers who meet specific training requirements, mandates that security guards and officers, as well as their employers, report any arrests or convictions for offenses listed in the law within ten days, and clarifies that municipalities and counties cannot require additional permits or fees from security businesses beyond a business tax, except for those providing street patrol services.
