	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2128, Gaines. Private security services: insurance policies.
   The Private Security Services Act provides for the licensure and
regulation of private patrol operators by the Bureau of Security and
Investigative Services in the Department of Consumer Affairs.
Existing law requires a private patrol operator employing a security
guard who carries a firearm to maintain an insurance policy that
provides minimum limits of insurance of $500,000 for any one loss due
to bodily injury or death and $500,000 for any one loss due to
injury or destruction of property.
   This bill would instead require all private patrol operators or
applicants for licensure to file or have on file with the bureau an
insurance policy that provides minimum limits of insurance of
$1,000,000 for any one loss due to bodily injury or death and
$1,000,000 for any one loss due to injury or destruction of property.



THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 7583.39 of the Business and Professions Code is
repealed.
  SEC. 2.  Section 7583.39 is added to the Business and Professions
Code, to read:
   7583.39.  The bureau shall require, as a condition precedent to
the issuance, reinstatement, reactivation, renewal, or continued
maintenance of a license, that the applicant or licensee file or have
on file an insurance policy, as defined in Section 7583.40.
  SEC. 3.  Section 7583.40 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   7583.40.  "Insurance policy," as used in this article, means a
contract of liability insurance issued by an insurance company
authorized to transact business in this state that provides minimum
limits of insurance of one million dollars ($1,000,000) for any one
loss due to bodily injury or death and one million dollars
($1,000,000) for any one loss due to injury or destruction of
property.
