Summary


In Section R156-63b-102 these proposed changes remove the definition of "supervised on the job training", because on the job training is no longer accepted. It was removed with a previous rule filing but the definition was missed. In Section R156-63b-304 the continuing education requirements are modified as follows: 1) The elective coursework topics that were deleted from Section R156-63b-603 basic education and training requirements have been incorporated here. The CPR/AED/first-aid topics are included in newly defined "core" continuing education topics, and the remaining elective topics are included in the newly defined "professional" continuing education topics. 2) The required continuing education hours have been increased from 16 hours to 32 hours. A minimum of 16 hours shall consist of education covering one or more of "core" continuing education topics; the remaining hours may consist of "professional" or "core" continuing education topics. "Core" continuing education is defined as the existing continuing education topics and new first-aid topics. "Professional" continuing education is defined as education covering one or more of the newly incorporated elective topics. 3) Credit for continuing education is further clarified and established as follows: i) two hours are allowed for each hour of lecturing, training, or instructing a course, if it is the first time the material has been taught during the preceding 12 months, up to a maximum of 12 hours during each two-year renewal period; the type of credit received (core, professional, or firearms education and training) is based on the subject taught; ii) one core continuing education hour is allowed for each hour of service on the Contract Security Services Licensing Board, a state or national security board, or the Contract Security Education Advisory Peer Committee, up to a maximum of six hours during each two-year renewal period; and iii) Internet continuing education is now referenced on the required continuing education completion certificate. 4) It is clarified that continuing education requirements may not be satisfied by the education and training programs required to obtain initial licensure. 5) Formatting changes are made throughout for clarity. In Section R156-63b-502 these proposed amendments add to the definition of "unprofessional conduct" failing as an armored car security officer to complete required continuing education hours. In Section R156-63b-602 these proposed amendments delete the subsection granting continuing education credit to instructors, because this provision has been incorporated into R156-63b-603. The approved basic education and training program requirements are modified in Section R156-63b-603 as follows: 1) programs must now have a minimum of eight hours of classroom or online instruction, instead of a minimum of 24 hours; 2) the provision requiring eight hours of elective coursework is deleted, and the elective coursework topics themselves are deleted; 3) formatting changes are made throughout for clarity.
