AR HR1006

Authorizes Representative John Vines to introduce legislation amending Arkansas Code § 17-40-337 regarding qualifications for commissioned security officers and school security officers

Adds new disqualifying criterion (item 12) prohibiting commissions to individuals convicted of felonies, Class A misdemeanors involving violence, crimes involving firearms or alcohol with firearms, crimes involving moral turpitude, or comparable offenses in other states, including previously sealed or expunged offenses

Establishes exception allowing commissions for individuals with failure to appear convictions under § 5-54-120 or Class A misdemeanor convictions occurring 10 or more years before application date

Maintains existing requirement that applicants employed by licensees or private business security departments must submit evidence satisfying the director that they meet all established qualifications

This is a nonappropriation bill requiring no state funding and represents authorization for introduction rather than final passage of the substantive legislation
