  1  1    Section 1.  Section 123.32, subsection 4, Code 2007, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    4.  SECURITY EMPLOYEE TRAINING.  A local authority, as a
  1  4 condition of obtaining and holding a license or permit for
  1  5 on=premises consumption, may require a designated security
  1  6 employee as defined in section 123.3 to be trained and
  1  7 certified in security methods.  However, the local authority
  1  8 for a city with a population of more than twenty=five thousand
  1  9 shall require a designated security employee to be trained and
  1 10 certified.  If training is required, the local authority shall
  1 11 approve authorized training, which may include training
  1 12 provided by a security company.  The training shall include
  1 13 but is not limited to mediation techniques, civil rights or
  1 14 unfair practices awareness as provided in section 216.7, and
  1 15 providing instruction on the proper physical restraint methods
  1 16 used against a person who has become combative.  The division
  1 17 shall make reasonable efforts to apprise potential licensees
  1 18 and permittees of the requirements of this subsection.
  1 19                           EXPLANATION
  1 20    This bill provides that local authorities for cities with a
  1 21 population of more than 25,000 shall require that designated
  1 22 security personnel working at establishments with a liquor
  1 23 control license or beer or wine permit be trained and
  1 24 certified in security methods as a condition of granting the
  1 25 liquor control license or beer or wine permit.  The bill also
  1 26 requires the local authority to approve authorized training
  1 27 and the alcohol beverages division is required to apprise
  1 28 potential licensees and permittees of these requirements.
  1 29 Current law allows, but does not require, local authorities to
  1 30 require the training and this provision remains for cities of
  1 31 25,000 or less in population.
