Fewer false-alarm fines for alarm companies

The law limits when towns and cities can fine alarm companies for false alarms. Companies pay only if the system was deficient or the company or central station made an error. Examples include operator error, bad installation, defective or leased equipment, or wear-and-tear failure. Municipalities can still fine property owners or occupants when they caused the false alarm. The law takes effect immediately.

Clear definitions for alarms and fines

The law defines alarm system, false alarm, municipality, and alarm system company. These terms decide which systems, companies, and local governments the rules cover. This clarity can affect who faces fines or protections in false-alarm cases. The law takes effect immediately.
