This bill amends and reenacts several sections of Louisiana's Revised Statutes related to private security examiners, specifically R.S. 37:3272 and R.S. 37:3276.2. Key changes include the redefinition of terms such as "Applicant," which is now defined as an individual seeking the issuance or reinstatement of any license or registration necessary for private security practice. The term "Qualifying agent" has also been updated to refer 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 further establishes the authority of the board to obtain criminal history record information for applicants, emphasizing the importance of public safety in regulating private security activities. It specifies that criminal history information will be treated as confidential and can only be used 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 aims to enhance the regulatory framework for private security in Louisiana while ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive information.
