SECTION 1. Section 463-10.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) All guards, and all agents, operatives, and assistants employed by a guard agency, private business entity, or government agency who act in a guard capacity shall apply to register with the board, and meet the following registration, instruction, and training requirements prior to acting as a guard:
(1) Be not less than eighteen years of age;
(2) Possess a high school education or its equivalent; provided that the applicant may satisfy the requirements of this paragraph by attesting that the applicant possesses a high school education or its equivalent;
(3) Not be presently suffering from any psychiatric or psychological disorder which is directly related and detrimental to a person's performance in the profession; and
(4) Not have been convicted in any jurisdiction of a crime which reflects unfavorably on the fitness of the individual to act as a guard, unless the conviction has been annulled or expunged by court order; provided that the individual shall submit to a national criminal history record check as authorized by federal law, including but not limited to the Private Security Officer Employment Authorization Act of 2004, and specified in the rules of the board, and a criminal history record check from the Hawaii criminal justice data center under chapter 846.
The board shall determine whether an individual qualifies for registration pursuant to this subsection.
For purposes of this subsection the term "guard" does not include any person directly employed as security personnel by the department of education or the University of Hawaii pursuant to chapters 76 and 78; provided that the department of education or the University of Hawaii may hire security personnel applicants who do not possess a guard card pursuant to this subsection at the beginning of their employment; provided further that applicants hired without a guard card shall obtain one after being employed for one year as security personnel."
