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 employee's" throughout the text.

Other exemptions outlined in the bill include various professionals such as attorneys, insurance adjusters, public adjusters, professional engineers, certified public accountants, and bail agents, provided they do not engage in investigative services. The bill also clarifies that collection agencies and finance companies are included in the exemptions, allowing their employees to conduct investigations incidental to their business. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4887.
