MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)   BILL NUMBER: A8825 SPONSOR: Brown E
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general business law, in relation to preempting local laws from requiring minimum hours worked for security guards acting on a volunteer basis   PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Preempts local laws from requiring minimum work requirements for volun- teer security guards   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1. Section 89-r of the general business law, as amended by chap- ter 634 of the laws of 1994, is amended to read as follows: § 89-r. Preemption. The provisions of this article shall govern notwithstanding any other law to the contrary and further, no local law shall be enacted which shall require any fee or license for the licensure   of or regis- tration   or of security guards. Further no local law shall be enacted which requires minimum hour work requirements for Volunteer security guards.   JUSTIFICATION: The State does not provide sufficient funding for private security guards for religious institutions, which are needed due to the current climate. Volunteers are willing to perform such tasks, except that they are often unable to meet the requirements of work hours required for paid security guards. This Bill makes it easier for volunteers to fulfill this communal need.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
