Alarm system installationOn Wednesday, March 14, the House Commerce Committee unanimously approved SB 1306 (NOW: alarm businesses; agents; regulation; licensing). On the same day, the Senate Committee on Government Reform passed HB 2748 (cities; alarm licenses; reciprocity) by a vote of 6-0.Identical strike-everything amendments to the bills were passed in both committees. The "strikers" memorialize a compromise agreement among stakeholders that was brokered by the bills' sponsors, Senator Frank Antenori (R-Tucson) and Rep. Amanda Reeve (R-Phoenix), respectively. The agreement provides for the establishment of a statewide certification requirement for alarm businesses and alarm agents, and it preempts further local regulation of alarm installation. Local government, however, may continue to regulate other aspects of alarms (such as false alarms) through ordinance. The League, a key stakeholder in negotiations, thanks the sponsors for their cooperation and leadership. |
