Juaregui seeks audit to learn if state agency is licensing felons to carry firearms

Assemblywoman Sandra Juaregui is pushing for an audit to uncover whether the state agency overseeing security guards has been illegally issuing licenses to felons, including private investigators. Allegations suggest the Private Investigators Licensing Board might have skirted legislative oversight and provided false information to lawmakers. This move comes amid growing concerns over public safety and the integrity of licensing processes, highlighting the need for stringent checks to ensure that only qualified and law-abiding individuals are granted firearms and PI licenses. The investigation could lead to significant reforms if wrongdoing is found.
