WHEREAS, some out-of-state officer applicants for the armed security guard license have been unable to qualify for licenses or license renewals due to the inability to obtain a CCDW license in Kentucky;
WHEREAS, Louisville Metro Council seeks to remove this inadvertent barrier for out-of-state officer applicants while preserving the requirement that an applicant is ineligible if he or she has been adjudged mentally incompetent; and
