Concerning electric security alarm systems.

Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1688 establishes statewide standards for electric security alarm systems, primarily impacting industrial and commercial property owners with outdoor storage and local governments. For cities and towns that have not adopted their own regulations, the bill mandates that these systems be allowed on outdoor storage properties, provided they meet specific installation requirements. These requirements include limits on electric charge, placement of warning signs, minimum height, and a device for first responder deactivation. The bill also clarifies that these systems are not considered fences unless explicitly regulated as such, and allows local governments to adopt their own regulations with specific procedural requirements.
