A more detailed description of Senate Bill 420 follows.
The bill would create the Security Provider Advisory Commission within the Department of State Police. Commission members would have to include individuals from the public and private sectors, as determined by the Department Director. One member would have to be a member of the Commission on Law Enforcement Standards. The purpose of the Security Provider Advisory Commission would be to establish minimum mandatory training standards for private security guards, private security police, and private detectives licensed under the Private Detective License Act who were acting as private security guards or private security police and, as such, were exempt from licensure under the Private Security Business and Security Alarm Act.
The commission would have to establish training standards within six months after its creation and could recommend the adoption of those standards by the Director of the Department of State Police. Upon establishing the training standards, the commission immediately would have to convey a copy of the standards to the Director.
Within one month after receiving the training standards, the Director would have to consider any commission recommendation and decide whether to adopt the standards, in whole or in part, by rule or as otherwise provided by law.
The bill specifies that the Department of State Police would have to consider the training requirements recommended by the commission. The Department would have to adopt training requirements acceptable to the State Police Director by rule or as otherwise provided by law.
