Alarm system installation
On Wednesday, February 8, the Senate Committee on Government Reform heard SB 1306 (alarm system installation; contractors; municipalities). The bill outlaws municipal regulation or licensure of alarm system installation. It further provides that municipalities in violation of the law will be penalized through a withholding of state shared revenues.
Both the League and the Arizona Alarm Association testified in opposition to this measure. Despite this opposition, the bill was approved on a 4-2 vote, following a spirited exchange among committee members regarding the power of the state vis-à-vis local control.
