It doesn't include McKee's bid to allow greater access to military-style semi-automatic weapons.

Fish and Game Chief Executive Corina Jordan told Ryan Bridge she understands there could be disappointment from some hunters.

She's encouraging those people to make a submission during the select committee process.
