Bill Summary
AN ACT To enact R.S. 9:2793.12(A)(3), relative to liability of persons authorized to carry a concealed handgun; to provide that armed security officers are authorized persons; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill amends Louisiana law to include armed security officers as "authorized persons" who can benefit from a limitation of liability under certain circumstances, specifically when carrying a concealed handgun. This means that if an armed security officer, who has met specific training requirements and holds an armed registration card from the Louisiana State Board of Private Security Examiners, acts within the scope of their duties, they may be protected from certain legal liabilities. The bill adds this provision to R.S. 9:2793.12(A)(3), which previously defined "authorized person" in relation to concealed handgun permits.
