Bill > HB662

This bill establishes regulations for low voltage battery-charged security fences, defining "local government" as any city or county entity, "low voltage battery-charged security fence" as a fence connected to an alarm system, powered by a 12-volt or less battery, meeting specific international safety standards, surrounded by a non-electric barrier, and displaying warning signs, but excluding residential fences or alarm systems not attached to a fence. It also defines "nonelectric perimeter barrier" as a fence or wall at least five feet high that cannot deliver an electric pulse. Crucially, the bill allows these security fences to be installed on non-residential properties without requiring local government permits or approvals, except for an alarm permit if mandated. However, this exemption does not prevent local governments from enforcing general safety codes, including building and electrical codes, or applying standard rules for setbacks, height, and lot coverage to the non-electric perimeter barriers that surround these security fences.
