This bill amends various sections of the Minnesota Statutes related to the licensing of private detectives and protective agents. Key changes include redefining terms such as "applicant," "license holder," "Minnesota manager," and "proprietary employer" to remove references to partnerships, thereby focusing on individuals and corporate entities. The bill also clarifies the roles of qualified representatives and the requirements for business entity applicants, emphasizing the need for active involvement in management and supervision of licensed activities.

Additionally, the bill modifies the application process for licenses, specifying that unlicensed activity will not count as legitimate experience and establishing a one-year prohibition on applying for a license following a violation. It introduces new provisions for notifying the board of changes in personnel and outlines the necessary qualifications for successors in the event of a vacancy. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the licensing process and ensure that only qualified individuals and entities are permitted to operate as private detectives or protective agents in Minnesota.
