Effective July 1, 2017, each guard agency, private business entity, or government agency subject to this section shall transmit to the board, on a monthly basis, a list consisting of each newly hired guard, agent, operative, or assistant who will act in a guard capacity and who will be required to meet the requirements of this subsection."

completed no sooner than two years from the applicant's completion of an

A forfeited registration may be restored upon written application within one year from the date of forfeiture, payment of the required renewal fee plus penalty fees, and meeting the continuing education requirements in effect at the time of restoration."
