The bill would amend Occupations Code to expand the type of businesses that would be required to obtain a Class B Private Security License to include those associated with closed circuit television operations and still camera system activities, also known as surveillance systems. The bill's provisions would apply to original or renewal applications submitted to the Texas Private Security Board on or after January 1, 2012. The bill would expand the Texas Private Security Board to nine members from the current seven member structure. The bill would take immediate effect upon receiving two-thirds votes from each house, otherwise taking effect September 1, 2011.The Department of Public Safety reports that implementation of the bill could result in a revenue gain from an increase in the number of applicants seeking a license under this statute. DPS is unable to estimate the amount of such a gain because of the unknown number of companies that might be newly required to obtain a license. This analysis assumes such a gain would be minimal and that any costs associated with implementing the bill's provisions could be met with existing resources.
