What it does
This bill prohibits political subdivisions from adopting or enforcing an ordinance, resolution, rule, or other measure requiring an alarm system contractor to pay a fee or fine associated with false alarms, emergency response to false alarms, or permits associated with placing or keeping an alarm system in service. This prohibition does not apply to installation permits required by a political subdivision’s building code. The bill also provides that if prior to the effective date of the bill an alarm system contractor passed the costs of installation permits to a customer as shown on a separate line item on the customer’s invoice, the alarm system contractor may continue to collect the fees from the customer until December 31, 2020.
