The bill amends the Louisiana State Board of Private Investigator Examiners' fee structure as outlined in R.S. 37:3516(A)(1) and (2). It increases various licensing fees for private investigator agencies and individual investigators. Specifically, the examination fee for both private investigator agencies and individual investigators is raised from $50.00 to $100.00, while the reexamination fee increases from $25.00 to $50.00. Additionally, the initial license fee and annual renewal license fee for private investigator agencies and individual investigators are both increased from $250.00 to $300.00 and from $100.00 to $150.00, respectively.

The bill also makes minor adjustments to the language used in the fee structure, changing "investigator" to "individual" for clarity. These changes aim to ensure that the fees reflect the current costs associated with licensing and regulation within the private investigation industry in Louisiana. Overall, the bill seeks to update the financial framework governing private investigator licensing to better align with operational needs.
