Functions performed by protective agent license holders and their employees classified, minimum preservice established, and training requirements for protective agents and their employees based on the functions performed by the person continued.

This bill establishes a tiered classification system for protective agent duties in Minnesota, requiring different training levels based on the specific functions agents perform. It creates five security service tiers ranging from basic access control to armed high-risk security, with each tier mandating specific preassignment training covering topics like de-escalation, first aid, legal use of force, and threat identification. The legislation also adds new continuing education requirements focused on community health issues, crisis response, and public safety protocols, while allowing the board to create an implementation plan that reduces training burdens for experienced workers. These changes directly affect security companies, license holders, and their employees by standardizing training expectations across the industry.
