This bill amends the requirements for applications for pistol/revolver licenses and modifies the composition of the board of dental examiners. It mandates that the Department of Safety update the application form for pistol/revolver licenses to ensure it only collects necessary information, protecting the privacy and rights of applicants. Specifically, the form will no longer request details such as the applicant's occupation, employer, or personal references, and it will not include any consent language for disclosing personal records beyond what is legally required. The bill also establishes that the application form must be based on the revised version from March 2017, and it repeals the previous rulemaking authority to create a new form.

Additionally, the bill changes the structure of the board of dental examiners by requiring that one member be a general dentist, while maintaining the overall composition of nine members, which includes six dentists, two dental hygienists, and one public member. The bill specifies that one dentist must have a permit to administer general anesthesia and deep sedation. The effective dates for the various sections of the bill are staggered, with some provisions taking effect on January 1, 2027, and others on September 1, 2027, while the remainder becomes effective upon passage.
