A. A municipality may not adopt an ordinance that requires a retail business to comply with specific security requirements, including the installation of security cameras or security lights, based on the size of the retail business, the type of the retail business or the number of calls the retail business made to law enforcement per year. For the purposes of this section, retail business does not include a bar, hotel, restaurant or a business that has live entertainment, dispenses or cultivates medical marijuana or that requires age verification for admission.
B. The legislature finds that the imposition of security requirements on retail businesses in a uniform and consistent manner is a matter of statewide concern. The imposition of security requirements on retail businesses as provided in this section is not subject to further regulation by a city, charter city or town.
