Alarm system installationThis past week, both SB 1306 (alarm system installation; contractors; municipalities) and HB 2748 (cities; alarm licenses; reciprocity) passed their respective houses 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 individual complies with certain requirements.The bills' sponsors, Senator Frank Antenori (R-Tucson) and Rep. Amanda Reeve (R-Phoenix), respectively, have come to an agreement on replacement legislation that would provide for the establishment of a statewide system for criminal background checks of alarm installers. The League anticipates that one of the two bills will be amended to incorporate the agreement, and the other will become available as a vehicle for a different proposal. The League, a key stakeholder in negotiations, thanks the sponsors for their cooperation. |
