Assembly Bill 746 proposes an exemption from the licensing and permit requirements for private detectives and private security personnel for individuals volunteering on church safety or security teams. Under current law, individuals must obtain a license from the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) to perform security-related duties. However, this bill allows volunteers acting within their duties at a church to operate without such a license, provided the church is a licensed entity.

The bill specifically defines a "church" as a religious or faith-based organization with a distinct legal existence that regularly holds services. The exemption applies only to activities conducted on the church's premises and does not extend to schools or other organizations affiliated with the church. This legislative change aims to facilitate volunteer security efforts within places of worship while maintaining regulatory oversight for other security operations.
