The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. The executive law is amended by adding a new section 719

3 § 719. Private security services. In addition to the training
4 requirements for security guards set forth in article seven-A of the
5 general business law, no private security guard company or service shall
6 be employed to provide security services unless such private security
7 guard company or service has been approved to provide such services by
8 the division of homeland security and emergency services. Such approval
9 shall be made upon application by a private security guard company or
10 service to the division in the manner and form directed by the division.
11 Approval by the division shall be based upon criteria determined by the
12 division to be necessary to ensure the effective provision of security
13 services. Approval by the division shall be evidenced by the issuance
14 of a permit by the division to the private security guard company or
15 service. Such permit shall be renewable every two years. The fee for
16 such permit and any renewal permit shall be a reasonable amount as
17 provided by regulations promulgated by the division. A renewal permit
18 shall be issued only if such private security guard company or service
19 meets the criteria required to be met for the issuance of the initial
20 permit.
21 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
