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.
