Most of the other amendments that passed relate to places where carry will be prohibited. Most of those places are already included in the NRA-backed version. The difference with the other amendments is that they are more restrictive by including the prohibited place plus parking lots and property adjacent to or near the prohibited place. That language will have to be reconciled in the final bill and I'll bet it comes out.
Most of the worst amendments (psychiatric exams, liability insurance) were withdrawn. And several bad amendments (prohibiting carry on university campuses, in any place that serves alcohol and at street fairs or farmers markets) were actually defeated.
The worst amendment to pass was the one that prohibits carry on public transportation. The good news is that this amendment conflicts with Amendment 27, which also passed. Amendment 27 explicitly allows carry on public transportation. These provisions will have to be reconciled in the final bill.
