HB462
 

Repealing this legislation is a step in the wrong direction.  

Some form of consumer protection is needed.  The public needs to know that personnel with access to VERY detailed security information are qualified to handle that information in such a way they stay protected.

The cost of operation hasn't increased that dramatically with this legislation, it adds about $2 per day over the first two years which does NOT warrant as dramatic of a price increase as some think it does.

Those indicating dramatic price increases are the ones who weren't operating with any insurance or business license previously, and now must comply with those regulations along with HB462.

On one response, it's mentioned that life safety codes aren't part of the outline for training with this bill.  Please see the DCJS web site for a complete outline of the 18 hours of entry level training required for locksmiths.  Life Safety and ADA codes are part of that training.
