Bills that have passed both the House and Senate and will now head to the Governor's desk SB 14 - bans possession of bump stocks.  Binary triggers, trigger cranks, etc. are not affected. SB 173 - allows CHP holders to have a stun-weapon in their vehicle while on K-12 school grounds. SB 268 - No sales tax on gun safes less than $1,500. HB 1080 - only those authorized by state law can carry on K-12 grounds.  Conservators of the Peace cannot carry on school grounds under this bill.   2. Bills that are going to be in a conference committee SB 69 - One Handgun a Month.  No conferees assigned by either body. SB 263 - Eliminates online training and possibly NRA instructors.  Senate Conferees: Senators Bell, Deeds, and Stuart.  House Conferees:  none announced yet.

Bills that passed both bodies, but different (modified by opposite body in some way) These bills can go in two different directions.  One body can accept the other body's changes and then the bill is passed and heads to the Governor's desk.  One or both bodies can demand their version of the bill and then the bill heads to a conference committee of 6 people (3 from each body) to try to work out a compromise.
