Private Investigator Act: firearms qualification.

The Private Investigator Act provides for the licensure and regulation of private investigators and the Private Security Services Act provides for the licensure and regulation of persons engaged in the provision of private security services by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, which is within the Department of Consumer Affairs. The Private Investigator Act requires a licensee or qualified manager who carries or uses a firearm or who possesses a valid firearms qualification card to comply with certain provisions relating to firearms that are specified in the Private Security Services Act. This bill would revise and recast the provisions relating to firearms under the Private Investigator Act by, among other things, adding those above-described provisions in the Private Security Services Act to the Private Investigator Act.
