A selective lists of bills we are following during conference committee at the Capitol Friday:

• House and Senate conferees will meet to work on differences over legislation regarding civil unions and religious groups, searchable databases for campaign donations and online voter registration. 

• House and Senate conferees will meet to work on differences concerning a bill exempting charter school governance from the State Ethics Code.

• House and Senate conferees will meet to work on differences involving bills that deal with the Office of Information Practices and the Sunshine Law and open records. 

• House and Senate conferees will meet to take up a hot-button bill that exempts development around bus transit stations statewide from existing zoning laws, setback and density regulations and height limit laws.
