One bill would lower the legal age of gun ownership in Georgia from 21 to 18 while also weakening restrictions on where a gun can be legally concealed.

Georgia’s labor commissioner wants lawmakers to okay jobless benefit changes. The plan would help re-pay $700 million the state borrowed to cover unemployment reserves.

GOP supporters of a bill that would allow the state to approve charter schools are still hoping the state Senate will vote on it before the legislative session ends.

Its backers say the schools give parents more choices.
