 CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
 2025–2026 REGULAR SESSION

 Senate Bill

No. 1356

Introduced by Senator Ashby

February 20, 2026

 An act to amend Section 7574.11 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to security services. 

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1356, as introduced, Ashby.
 Proprietary security services.

The Proprietary Security Services Act, among other things, requires a proprietary private security officer to register with the Department of Consumer Affairs and requires the application for registration to include submission of fingerprints, as provided, and a specified fee. Existing law requires the Chief of the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, upon approval of the registration application, to issue a registration card to the applicant. Existing law authorizes a person to work as a proprietary private security officer pending receipt of the registration card if they have been approved by the Director of Consumer Affairs and they carry a hardcopy printout of the approval and specified identification, as provided.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
