Professions and Occupations - As enacted, adds that a managed services provider that provides direct sales, installation, or maintenance service for an IP camera connected to the managed services provider's network; derives less than 25 percent of the managed services provider's gross annual revenue from those services; and provides proof of employee vetting satisfactory to the commissioner is specifically excluded from the requirements of the Alarm Contractors Licensing Act. - Amends TCA Title 62, Chapter 32.
SB 2291 removes the requirement for alarm contractors to hold a license when selling, installing, or monitoring still cameras and televisions used in security systems. This change specifically affects contractors who previously needed a license for these devices under Tennessee's Alarm Contractors Licensing Act (TCA Title 62, Chapter 32). The bill amends the licensing statute to exclude "still cameras and televisions" from the list of items requiring a license, while maintaining licensing requirements for traditional alarm systems. This simplifies regulatory requirements for contractors working with basic security camera and TV installations.
