IN RE:
HB2430 by Goldman (Relating to requirements for the use of an insignia or design by guard companies under the Private Security Act.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Occupations Code to require that an individual possessing a guard company license must obtain approval from the Department of Public Safety to use an insignia or design on a uniform or motor vehicle, while performing duties as a guard company. The bill would require the Private Security Board to prescribe procedures for the submission and approval of the insignia or design. The bill would forbid the Private Security Board from renewing the license of an individual who is in violation of these procedures. It is assumed any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed within existing resources. The bill would take effect September 1, 2017.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
