This bill amends the requirements for applications for licenses to carry a loaded pistol or revolver and modifies the composition of the board of dental examiners. Specifically, it mandates that the department of safety update the pistol/revolver license application form to ensure it only collects necessary information, removing the requirement for applicants to disclose their occupation, employer details, or personal references. The bill also specifies that the form must not include any consent or release language that would require applicants to authorize the disclosure of personal records beyond what is legally required. Additionally, the bill updates the application form's revision date from December 2009 to March 2017.

In terms of the board of dental examiners, the bill changes its composition to include one general dentist among its members, alongside six dentists, two dental hygienists, and one public member. The bill also establishes that one dentist member must have a current permit to administer general anesthesia and deep sedation. Furthermore, it repeals the existing rulemaking authority related to creating a new form for the license to carry, while requiring the department of safety to enter into rulemaking to develop a consistent form. The effective dates for various sections of the act are staggered, with some provisions taking effect in 2027.
