The bills provide for:
A gun buy-back program in the State of New York,
a ban on bump stocks,
"red flag" authority for police to impound guns belonging to individuals whose behavior is disturbing or threatening, as reported by family or school,
prohibition of teachers carrying firearms in schools,
extension of the waiting period before buying a gun, for those who fail the immediate background check...
In multiple other states gun control bills have been introduced. Time will tell which bills will become law, and in which states.
