The bill amends the Professional Investigator Licensure Act of 1965 by clarifying the exemptions to the licensure requirements for certain individuals and entities. Notable changes include the specification that employees of the United States, the state, or its political subdivisions are exempt from licensure while performing their official duties, with the exception of professional investigators hired under contract. Additionally, the bill updates language to reflect gender neutrality, changing terms like "his or her" to "the" or "the individual's" in various contexts.

Other exemptions outlined in the bill include employees of collection agencies and finance companies conducting investigations incidental to their business, insurance adjusters employed on a salary basis, and public adjusters who do not perform investigative services. The bill also clarifies the roles of professional engineers and certified public accountants, ensuring that they are exempt when acting within the scope of their professional practice and not engaging in investigative activities. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4887.
