This bill amends and reenacts several provisions of R.S. 37:3286 concerning fees associated with private contract security companies in Louisiana. Key changes include the establishment of new fee structures for company licenses, guard registrations, and instructor licenses. For instance, the initial company license fee is set at $500, while the renewal fee is $410. Guard registration fees have also been adjusted, with initial registration now costing $75 and renewals at $65. Additionally, instructor license fees have been updated, with classroom instructor licenses and renewals priced at $110, and firearms instructor licenses at $160.

The bill also introduces a requirement for the board to display a publicly accessible fee schedule on its website, detailing all fees charged, including administrative fees, along with the statutory or regulatory authority for those fees. This schedule must be regularly updated to reflect any changes in regulations or statutes. Furthermore, the bill repeals several existing fee provisions, streamlining the fee structure and ensuring that the new fees will supersede previous administrative fees upon enactment.
