MINOR
The bill was amended to clarify the specific powers granted to security officers at the Pleasantville Village Court and to add a mandatory training requirement. Previously, the bill only authorized these officers to be designated as peace officers without specifying their exact powers or training needs. The amendment limits their authority to three specific powers found in another section of the law and requires them to complete a state-mandated training course if they are not already licensed peace officers.
Scope change
The scope of authority for the designated security officers was narrowed to only three specific powers, and a new eligibility requirement (training) was added for non-officer employees.
REQUIREMENT

Added a mandatory training requirement for security officers who are not currently licensed peace officers.

ENFORCEMENT

Explicitly limited the officers' powers to only those listed in specific paragraphs of another section of the law.

TECHNICAL

Changed the subdivision number in the Criminal Procedure Law from 60 to 89.
