SSB 6257 -
By Representative Hudgins
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"Sec. 1 RCW 18.170.020 and 1991 c 334 s 2 are each amended to
read as follows:
The requirements of this chapter do not apply to:
(1) A person who is employed exclusively or regularly by one
employer and performs the functions of a private security guard solely
in connection with the affairs of that employer, if the employer is not
a private security company;
(2) A sworn peace officer while engaged in the performance of the
officer's official duties; ((or))
(3) A sworn peace officer while employed by any person to engage in
off-duty employment as a private security guard, but only if the
employment is approved by the chief law enforcement officer of the
jurisdiction where the employment takes place and the sworn peace
officer does not employ, contract with, or broker for profit other
persons to assist him or her in performing the duties related to his or
her private employer; or
(4) Guest services or crowd management employees who do not perform
the duties of a private security guard."
Correct the title.
EFFECT: The amendment (1) makes a technical change to clarify that the exemption applies to those guest services or crowd management employees who do not perform the duties of a "private security guard" (instead of a "security officer"); and (2) deletes the emergency clause.
