Alarm SystemsThis past week, both SB 1306 (alarm system installation; contractors; municipalities) and HB 2748 (cities; alarm licenses; reciprocity) passed the Committee of the Whole in their respective bodies of origin. SB 1306 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. The heart of HB 2748 is a reciprocity provision that entitles a person already licensed as an alarm installer in one Arizona municipality to obtain an alarm installation license from another if the person complies with certain requirements.The League is participating in stakeholder meetings on issues addressed in both bills. It appears that the product of these meetings will be an agreement on a statewide licensing process similar to that contemplated by last year's SB 1277 (alarm business; alarm agents), and the removal of penalties involving state shared revenue. Language to memorialize such an agreement is under development. |
