Prohibits state agencies and contractors from requiring foster homes to disclose specific firearm types or changes in them, and limits use and disclosure of such information, so fewer restrictions on firearm owners in foster homes.
The commission, the department, and a child-placing agency that contracts with the department may not require an agency foster home to: (1) disclose the specific types of firearms that are present in the home; or (2) notify the child-placing agency if there is any change in the types of firearms that are present in the home.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds protections limiting collection, use, and disclosure of specific firearm type information in agency foster homes, plus a civil penalty for violations; this expands the firearms axis by reducing government oversight and restrictions on owners in that setting. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
