Utah law currently requires gun dealers to have buyers sign a specific written consent form provided by the Bureau of Criminal Identification before running a background check, and that form must collect details like the buyer's name, address, date of birth, height, weight, eye and hair color, and social security number, which the dealer then sends to the bureau. This bill would eliminate that specific form requirement and the detailed data-collection process tied to it, while keeping the underlying requirement that a background check be completed and approved before a dealer can sell or transfer a firearm. The bill would also extend the amount of time the bureau may retain records from a completed background check, for buyers who are approved, from 20 days to 30 days.
