House Bill 2162 amends the Local Government Code to restrict the application of existing law governing the municipal regulation of burglar alarm systems to certain small municipalities wholly located in a county with a population of less than 500,000. The bill establishes regulations governing the use of burglar alarm systems by certain large municipalities and by municipalities wholly or partly located in large counties, including regulations relating to permits, false alarms, fees and penalties, an exception of a municipality from an alarm system response, and a property owner's option to exclude the municipality from receiving an alarm signal by a system located on the person's property.
