A bill for an act relating to licensing requirements of private investigative agencies and security agents.
This bill changes Iowa's licensing rules for private investigators and security agents. It requires applicants to have no felony or serious misdemeanor convictions within the past ten years (instead of a lifetime ban under current law) to obtain or renew a license. The policy directly affects individuals and agencies seeking to work in these security fields in Iowa. The change applies to all new license applications and renewals processed after the law takes effect.
