BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 463-10.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended as follows:
1. By amending subsection (a) to read:
"(a) Effective July 1, 2013, all guards,
and all agents, operatives, and assistants employed by a guard agency, private
business entity, or government agency who act in a guard capacity shall apply
to register with the board, and meet the following registration, instruction,
and training requirements [prior to acting as a guard:] within sixty
days from the first day of employment:
(1) Be not less than eighteen years of age;
(2) Possess a high school education or its equivalent;
(3) Not be presently suffering from any psychiatric or psychological disorder which is directly related and detrimental to a person's performance in the profession; and
(4) Not have been convicted in any jurisdiction of a crime which reflects unfavorably on the fitness of the individual to act as a guard, unless the conviction has been annulled or expunged by court order; provided that the individual shall submit to a national criminal history record check as authorized by federal law, including but not limited to the Private Security Officer Employment Authorization Act of 2004, and specified in the rules of the board.
The board shall determine whether an individual qualifies for registration pursuant to this subsection."
2. By amending subsection (g) to read:
"(g) Prior to the June 30, 2016, renewal of the guard registration and every registration renewal thereafter, and no sooner than two years from the applicant's completion of initial registration, the applicant shall pay all required fees, and have had at least four hours of continuing education as specified in the rules of the board.
The board may conduct a random audit, pursuant to rules adopted pursuant to chapter 91, of registrants applying for renewal of a registration to determine whether the continuing education requirements of this subsection have been met.
The failure, neglect, or refusal of any registered guard to pay the renewal fee or meet the continuing education requirements shall constitute a forfeiture of the guard's registration. A forfeited registration may be restored upon written application within one year from the date of forfeiture, payment of the required renewal fee plus penalty fees, and meeting the continuing education requirements in effect at the time of restoration."
SECTION 2. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
