Security Guards - Certification Renewal - Requirements

SB 365 modifies Maryland's security guard certification renewal process. It repeals the $5-per-day late fee and eliminates the requirement for security guard agencies or employers to submit a declaration to the Secretary of State Police about certified guards. The bill changes the expiration date for certifications to the last day of the holder's birth month (previously set by the Secretary) and mandates electronic renewal notices 90, 60, and 30 days before expiration. Existing requirements remain, including the $10 renewal fee, 8 hours of approved continuing training, and fingerprint checks.
