Security Guard Employers - Regulation and Certification - Exemption for Video Lottery Operator and Sports Wagering Facility Licensees

HB 1514 exempts video lottery operators and sports wagering facility licensees from Maryland’s security guard employer regulations. It amends the definition of "security guard employer" in Maryland law to explicitly exclude these entities, meaning they are no longer subject to requirements like certifying security guards under Section 19-401(c). The bill directly affects businesses holding video lottery or sports wagering licenses, removing them from the scope of security guard agency and employer licensing rules. This is a definitional change only - these businesses remain subject to other applicable laws, such as employee licensing requirements under Sections 9-1A-14 and 9-1E-03. The exemption takes effect July 1, 2025.
