House Bill No. by Representative Marcelle aims to amend and reenact several provisions related to private security examiners in Louisiana. Key changes include the redefinition of terms such as "Applicant," which now refers to individuals seeking the issuance or reinstatement of licenses or permits necessary for private security practice. The term "Qualifying agent" has been updated to specify that it refers to any owner or manager of a private security business with executive decision-making authority. Additionally, a new definition for "Licensure" has been introduced, clarifying it as the granting of any license, permit, certification, or registration authorized by the board.

The bill also addresses the authority to obtain and manage criminal history record information for applicants in the private security sector. It emphasizes the importance of public safety and outlines the confidentiality of criminal history records, which can only be used by the board to evaluate an applicant's eligibility. The board is granted access to criminal history records and identification files, and it is required to conduct national criminal history checks through the FBI. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the regulatory framework governing private security activities in Louisiana while ensuring the protection of sensitive information.
