Received by: NL
After a public hearing and further Division and Board review, a change is being made in Section R156-63a-606 with respect to security badges.
In Section R156-63a-606 with respect to security badges, the requirement that a security badge contain the name of the contract security company and a number is being deleted. (DAR NOTE: This change in proposed rule has been filed to make additional changes to a proposed new rule that was published in the August 1, 2008, issue of the Utah State Bulletin, on page 12. Underlining in the rule below indicates text that has been added since the publication of the proposed rule mentioned above; strike-out indicates text that has been deleted. You must view the change in proposed rule and the proposed new rule together to understand all of the changes that will be enforceable should the agency make this rule effective.)
Section 58-63-101 and Subsections 58-1-106(1)(a) and 58-1-202(1)(a)
No additional costs or savings are anticipated beyond those previously identified in the original proposed rule filing.
This change in proposed rule does not apply to local governments; therefore, no costs or savings are anticipated. This proposed rule only applies to licensed unarmed private security officers, armed private security officers, contract security companies, and applicants for licensure in this classifications.
This change in proposed rule only applies to licensed unarmed private security officers, armed private security officers, contract security companies, and applicants for licensure in this classifications, which some may qualify as a "small business". The Division anticipates a savings to contract security companies, which may be qualified as a small business, of approximately $60 per badge ordered for each security officer due to the fact that the name of the contact security company and a number will no longer be required. The Division is unable to determine how many badges a contract security company may order in a year.
No additional compliance costs are anticipated as a result of this change in proposed rule beyond those previously identified in the original proposed rule filing. Only savings are anticipated to contract security companies as a result of this additional amendment as identified above.
This rule change removes a requirement regarding the badges worn by private security officers that was inadvertently entered in the last rule filing (the requirement that the badge have the name of the contract security company and a number). No fiscal impact to businesses is anticipated from this change. Francine A. Giani, Executive Director
