This bill aims to revise laws related to private security by repealing the Board of Private Security and transferring its authority to a department program. It eliminates the licensure requirements for alarm response runners, branch offices of private security companies, and resident managers of private security companies. Additionally, the bill mandates the designation of a manager for private security companies and combines proprietary and contract private security companies into a single license type. It also provides rulemaking authority and revises various definitions related to private security.

Furthermore, the bill amends multiple sections of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) and repeals several existing sections that are no longer necessary under the new framework. The changes aim to streamline the regulatory process for private security, reduce unnecessary licensure burdens, and enhance the management structure within private security companies.
