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 outlines the application process for obtaining a license, specifying the necessary information and signatures required from individuals and corporate officers. It establishes that unlicensed activity will not count as legitimate experience for licensing and sets a one-year prohibition on applying for a license following a violation. The bill also mandates that any changes in the signatories of the license application must be reported to the board, ensuring that the licensing process remains transparent and accountable.
