The bill further prohibits licensing authorities from imposing additional or stricter requirements than those set by the Department of Attorney General, as well as from charging any fees other than those required pursuant to Section 11-47-12.

The act specifies that the license or permit shall be issued in triplicate in a form to be prescribed, and it takes effect upon passage.
