Preempts local laws from requiring minimum work requirements for volunteer security guards

This bill (A 4832) prevents local governments from enacting laws that require volunteer security guards to work a minimum number of hours. It directly affects volunteer security programs in cities and towns by preempting local regulations on work hour requirements. The key provision amends New York's General Business Law to state that no local law may impose such minimum hour mandates for volunteer security guards. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
