Private Security Industry (Amendment) Bill

The Private Security Industry (Amendment) Bill introduces new provisions to enhance the protection of security officers during their duties. It establishes three new offenses related to assault, causing hurt, and harassment against security officers, with varying penalties. The bill reclassifies these offenses as non-arrestable unless committed in the presence of a police officer. It modifies existing sections of the Private Security Industry Act and the Protection from Harassment Act to align with these changes. The implementation date will be determined by the Minister.
