Relating to private security services; declaring an emergency.
HB 2012 clarifies definitions for Oregon's private security industry, directly affecting security companies, their managers, and security professionals. It redefines "private security entity" to exclude campus security providers and certain higher education staff, while specifying roles like "executive manager" (responsible for hiring and compliance) and "private security professional" (anyone performing security duties as their core job). The bill modifies existing licensing and certification requirements by detailing who must meet state standards for providing services like property protection, access control, or theft prevention. It declares an immediate emergency to take effect upon passage, but does not create new fees or penalties - only refines regulatory scope.
