Unfortunately, it's difficult if not impossible for some small churches to be able to afford this, and still continue their work. I know at my small church, we have no security team. There are some members who are police, and several are LTCs who carry. But there is no official security team, and I believe that the law that HB 421 is attempting to fix is why.SewTexas wrote:rtschl wrote:Correct. If you are doing security, unarmed or armed, you have to be licensed by the state. Level 2 security is (unarmed) non commissioned security officer.
I thought we'd figured out that it was only armed....
Although I'm still trying to figure out what right the state has to tell churches what to do within the church.
yes, it looks like he's trying to fix it. But it sounded at the end, as he was trying to wrap up, that Renaldi, himself, was confused. I'm not sure if anyone else heard that as well? Maybe I was confused at that point, I had missed the early testimony so that might have been part of it. But if he doesn't understand all of the law that is involved, that's going to be a problem.
