The application shall be subscribed and sworn to:  By the applicant, if the applicant is an individual;   By each partner, if the applicant is a partnership; or   By the qualifying agent, if the applicant is a corporation.     Any individual signing the application must be at least twenty-one (21) years of age.    Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter to the contrary, a properly licensed contract security company may use temporary employees not registered with the department as temporary security guard/officers for special events upon the approval of a special event permit by the commissioner. A temporary security guard/officer used pursuant to this subdivision (d)(1) must:  Be at least eighteen (18) years of age;   Act as a temporary security guard/officer under a special event permit for no more than ten (10) days in a calendar year;   Have no arrest authority; and   Not be armed during the temporary employment.     Applications for a special event permit must include:  The names of the temporary employees;   The addresses of the temporary employees;   The birth dates of the temporary employees;   The fee as set by subsection (e);   The identity, location, and date of the special event or events for which the temporary employees are to be employed; and   Other information as the commissioner may reasonably require.       Applications for a special event permit must be submitted to the commissioner at least five (5) days prior to the commencement of the special event and accompanied by a fee for each temporary employee or special event permit as set by rule. If the commissioner has not set a fee for registration of a temporary employee or special event permit by rule, then the fee shall be thirty-five dollars ($35.00) per temporary employee.   A special event permit shall only be valid for the dates, locations, and events disclosed on the permit application. A new application for a special event permit must be filed for any additional dates or locations not authorized.   The commissioner may decline to issue a special event permit if the commissioner, in the commissioner's sole discretion, determines that the issuance of such a permit is not in the best interest of the public based on the size of the event, the level of security required by the event, the number of permits previously issued to a contract security company during the past year, or other factors as the commissioner may reasonably consider.   Prior to approving the request for a special event permit, the commissioner may require that any person requesting a permit provide a bond on a form acceptable to the commissioner in an amount set by the commissioner. The bond shall be for the benefit of any person who is damaged by a temporary security guard/officer acting under a special event permit.
