LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1170, as amended, Morrell. Private Investigator Act: license: assignment.

Existing law, the Private Investigator Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of private investigators by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services. Existing law authorizes a licensee to apply for consent to assign a license to another business entity and, upon consent and payment of a processing fee, assign that license to another business entity as long as the direct and indirect owners of the assignor own all of the assignee immediately after the assignment. Existing law also provides that a license under that act is not assignable.

This bill would delete the provision of law that provides a license under that act is not assignable.

This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

Vote: ~~MAJORITY~~2/3 Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO

SEC. 2.
This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the meaning of Article IV of the California Constitution and shall go into immediate effect. The facts constituting the necessity are:
In order to avoid any possible ambiguity under existing law and to allow the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services to better process license applications for assignment currently being received, it is necessary for this act to take effect immediately.
