    5-57-16. [D> Experience or examination requirements <D] [A> EXPERIENCE OR
EXAMINATION REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO ALARM BUSINESSES AND ALARM AGENTS. -- <A]
(a) Every alarm business shall meet either the experience requirement of
subsection (c) of this section or the examination requirement of subsection
(f) of this section before it may engage in the alarm business.

   (b) Applicants engaged in the alarm business on September 1, 1977 have three
(3) months from the date of conditional approval of their alarm business
application by the licensing authority to comply with the examination
requirements of this section; provided, that if within that time the applicant
is unable to engage an individual meeting the requirements of subsection (f) of
this section, the licensing authority may for good cause shown, extend for a
reasonable time, not to exceed ninety (90) days, the period within which the
applicant shall comply with this section. Upon satisfactory completion of the
examination, procedures, content, and passing scores for which are established
in rules and regulations, the licensing authority shall lift its conditional
approval and grantits full approval of the company licensed to do business.
Applicants who do not take the examination must satisfy the experience
requirement required by subsection (c) of this section.

   (c) Experience requirement: - In order to comply with this requirement, at
least one individual who is an owner, officer, partner, manager, or employee of
the applicant shall establish that he or she was engaged or was employed in an
alarm business in sales, installation or service for an aggregate period of
three (3) years prior to the filing of the application. That individual shall
file with the licensing authority sworn statements relating to the foregoing
facts of at least two (2) citizens of the community or communities in which that
individual was so engaged or employed. The individual whom the applicant relies
upon to comply with this subsection is required to devote a substantial portion
of his or her time to engaging in and/or supervising the sale, installation, or
servicing of alarm systems on behalf of the applicant.

   (d) For the purposes of the three (3) year experience requirement of
subsection (c) of this section, employment by or engagement in an alarm business
in one or more communities within the state may be aggregated. In the event that
the individual whom the applicant relies upon to comply with subsection (c) of
this section must aggregate his or her past experience in the alarm business in
two (2) or more states, the individual must submit sworn statements of two (2)
or more citizens of each state or states as to that experience.

   (e) If the licensing authority determines that the applicant has not
satisfactorily complied with subsection (c) of this section or that the prior
experience of the individual whom the applicant relies upon to comply with
subsection (c) of this section is not sufficient to permit the applicant to
engage in the alarm business, it may require the applicant to comply with
subsection (f) of this section.

   (f) Examination requirement: - The licensing authority shall prepare and
administer at least twice annually an examination or examinations designed to
measure an individual's knowledge and competence in the alarm business. It may
administer separate examinations to test an individual's knowledge and
competence with respect to the type and nature of the alarm business in which
the applicant proposes to engage. The individual who qualifies under this
subsection shall be required to devote a substantial portion of his or her time
to engaging in and/or supervising the sale, installation, or servicing of alarm
systems on behalf of the applicant.

   (g) In the event that the individual whom the applicant relies upon to comply
with subsection (c) of this section or to qualify under subsection (f) of this
section within a period of three (3) years after that compliance or
qualification for any reason ceases to perform his or her duties on a regular
basis, the alarm business shall promptly notify the licensing authority by
certified mail and shall make every effort to promptly obtain a substitute
eligible individual acceptable to the licensing authority. If the alarm business
fails to obtain a substitute eligible individual within six (6) months from and
after the disqualification of the licensee, the licensing authority may revoke
the alarm business license or, for good cause shown, may extend for a reasonable
time the period for obtaining a substitute qualifying individual or the
licensing authority may determine, based upon the experience and performance of
the alarm business, that the alarm business does not need to obtain a substitute
qualifying individual.

applicant has been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor in any jurisdiction
and the licensing authority finds that the conviction reflects unfavorably on
the fitness of the applicant to engage in the alarm business or to be employed
by an alarm business.
