A bill for an act relating to the authority of counties and cities to regulate the installation or use of battery-charged security alarm systems on nonresidential properties.

This bill prevents counties and cities from regulating battery-charged security alarm systems on business properties as if they were fences or requiring fence permits. It prohibits local governments from banning or restricting these systems on nonresidential properties, provided they meet specific safety standards: using certified equipment, being installed behind a 5-foot non-electric fence, meeting height requirements, and displaying warning signs every 30 feet. The bill explicitly excludes residential properties and allows local governments to require standard security alarm operator licenses. It clarifies that these systems are not subject to fence codes or zoning rules, but must comply with the defined technical and safety conditions.
