Ordinances prohibited.

A. Any municipality or county may levy and collect reasonable

charges for alarm installation connections located in or at a police

or fire department which is owned, operated or monitored by the

municipality or county. Any municipality or county may require

discontinuance of service of any alarm signal device which, due to

mechanical malfunction or faulty equipment, causes excessive false

alarms and, in the opinion of the appropriate county or municipal

official, becomes a detriment to the functions of the department

involved. The municipality or county may cause the disconnection of

the device until the same is repaired to the satisfaction of the

appropriate official; however, the municipality or county shall

advise the owner or user of the device of the disconnection in

advance or as soon as reasonably practicable. The municipality or

county may levy and collect reasonable reconnection fees.

Mechanical malfunction and faulty equipment shall not include, for

the purpose of the Alarm, Locksmith and Fire Sprinkler Industry Act,

false alarms caused by human error or an act of God.

B. No municipality may adopt any ordinance concerning the

licensing of any alarm, locksmith or fire sprinkler industry

business or individual which is or may be licensed pursuant to the

Alarm, Locksmith and Fire Sprinkler Industry Act.

C. No municipality or county may adopt any ordinance, order, or

regulation concerning the installation, operation, or usage of a

battery-charged security fence as long as the installation,

operation, and usage of the battery-charged security fence follows

the requirements and standards prescribed in Section 3 of this act.
