LOG OF FILINGS
Chairman Hayman presided over the review of the log of permanent rules.
All permanent rules were approved unanimously with the following exceptions:
Prior to the review of the rules from the Private Protective Services Board, Commissioner Gray recused himself and did not participate
in any discussion or vote concerning these rules because he teaches for the Private Protective Services Board on a contract basis.
12 NCAC 07D .0112: Private Protective Services Board - The Commission objected to this rule based on lack of statutory authority.
Paragraph (b) of this Rule is not consistent with G.S. 74C-13(g). That statute allows the Board to suspend a firearm registration permit
for various reasons, but it only allows it to summarily suspend the permit pending resolution of charges involving the illegal use,
carrying or possession of a firearm lodged against the owner of a permit. This rule goes beyond that in summarily suspending the
permit any time a firearm is discharged, whether or not there is any allegation of the commission of a crime. This seems to be beyond
what the statute allows.
12 NCAC 07D .0806: Private Protective Services Board - The Commission objected to this rule based on lack of statutory authority.
There is no authority cited for Subparagraph (a)(5) that requires an applicant for renewal of an armed security guard firearm
registration permit identification card to be at least 21 years of age. This amounts to an occupational license and G.S. 93B-9 prohibits
occupational licensing boards from requiring an individual be more than 18 years of age as a requirement for receiving a license.
N.C. Fire/Building Code – Group A-2 Sprinklers: Thursday afternoon after the meeting we received one letter of objection to the
above rule and we received 7 more Friday. In the opinion of Commission Counsel three of those letters did not “clearly request[ing]
review by the legislature.” However, since there were a total of only 8 letters, the contents of the letters is not an issue.
G.S. 150B-21.3(b2) states “[i]f the Commission receives written objections from 10 or more persons, no later than 5:00 P.M. of the
day following the day the Commission approves the rule….” It was 5:05 P.M. when Counsel checked the fax machine and confirmed
that there were no letters downstairs at the front desk either. The sprinkler rule has a delayed effective date of January 1, 2011. The
lack of sufficient objection letters will not make any difference in the rule’s effective date.
