Senate Bill 666 passes latest test in State Assembly

On September 6, CALSAGA-sponsored legislation, Senate Bill 666 was voted off the Assembly Floor by a 67-9 vote.  SB 666 would mandate proprietary security officers to complete the same 40 hour training requirement as contract security officers.  Without question, this is very good news as the bill now heads back to the Senate Floor for a vote.

We are hopeful that the bill will make it out of the Senate and to the Governor's desk at which point he will either sign or veto the bill.  We will continue to keep you updated on the progress of SB 666 as it works its way through the Legislature and to the Governor.  In the coming days, we will ask members to submit support letters to the Governor's office urging him to sign the bill.
