The House and Senate each appointed their members of a conference committee which will attempt to hammer out a compromise version of dueling bills that would change some of the state’s gun laws.

The House on October 18 of last year and the Senate on February 1 of this year approved different versions of the measure, leading to appointment of the conference committee.

Sens. Cindy (D-Newton), Joan Lovely (D-Salem) and Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester) will represent the Senate while the House members will be Reps. Michael Day (D-Stoneham), Carlos Gonzalez (D-Springfield) and Joseph McKenna (R-Webster).
