This amendment replaces the bill and amends the provision of law regarding the refusal, suspension and revocation of a private investigator's license to add new grounds that allow the Commissioner of Public Safety to refuse to issue or renew a license and allow the District Court to suspend or revoke the license of a private investigator. The grounds are that a private investigator contacts or communicates with a child who has not attained 14 years of age regarding a private investigation if that contact or communication by the private investigator includes conduct with the intent to harass, torment, intimidate or threaten a child.
