Technology service businesses gain alarm contractor exemption

Effective upon becoming law, Tennessee exempts qualifying managed services providers from alarm-system contractor requirements. These businesses manage and maintain customers’ information technology systems. To qualify, they must directly sell, install, or maintain an IP camera connected to their own network. Those camera services must account for less than 25% of gross annual revenue. Providers must supply proof of employee vetting that satisfies the commissioner. Providers offering monitoring services do not qualify.
