Governor signs amendments to Statute 493 As of June 16, 2014, Governor Rick Scott has signed the DOL's Bill amending §493, Florida Statutes. Most significantly, the Bill permits Class "G" Licensees the additional option of carrying either a .40 caliber handgun or a .45 ACP handgun during the performance of their duties and allows Class "D" licensees to work in plain clothes without waivers or limitation of assignment while providing bodyguard or executive protection services. This legislation will officially become law on July 1st 2014. We express our thanks to Division Director Grea Beavis and Commissioner Putnam for supporting FASCO in our efforts to pass this important industry legislation. Director Beavis has been a powerful advocate of the DOL's Bill, working diligently to gain support for and ultimately ensure this legislation passed. Because of Director Beavis' hard work, this endeavor has become a success and he is to be commended for this victory.
