The Arizona Legislature this session passed 388 bills. Gov. Doug Ducey signed 374 of them into law. Most of those new laws go into effect on Saturday.

Many of the laws are small changes to existing state statutes that will have little impact on the public. But here are 12 that could impact Arizonans' daily lives:

Buying wine: Senate Bill 1381 allows consumers to order wine by phone or online and have it shipped directly to their homes or businesses. Wineries must have a direct-shipping license from Arizona's liquor department. Previously, only small wineries could ship directly to consumers. While the law is in effect, the state has until January to begin issuing licenses.

Legalized potlucks: House Bill 2341 exempts all potlucks from inspections and licensing by the Arizona Department of Health Services. Under current law, only office potlucks were exempt from the health requirements.

Charitable donations: SB 1216 doubles the amount individuals can claim in tax credits for donations to charities, increasing it to $400. Individuals can also now take a tax credit for donations of up to $500 to a foster-care organization.

City speed limits: HB 2032 allows cities and counties to raise or lower the speed limit on streets adjacent to public parks. Currently, they can only do this on streets adjacent to schools.

Drones: SB 1449 makes it a crime for a drone to interfere with law enforcement or emergency operations. It also makes it a crime to intentionally photograph or loiter near a critical facility such as a dam, prison or railroad with the intent to commit another crime.

Donation bins: SB 1504 requires charity donation bin operators to get permission from private property owners before putting donation bins on private property. If a bin is left without permission, the property owner can now remove it. Bins must now clearly display the name and contact number for the owner.

Short-term rentals: SB 1350 prevents cities and counties from banning short-term rentals like those offered by companies such as Airbnb and sets state rules for taxation. It allows the companies, which match travelers to rental properties or rooms, to collect state lodging taxes on behalf of property owners while also keeping the properties classified as residential for tax purposes. HOAs may still restrict short- term rentals in their bylaws.

School gardens: HB 2518 exempts from state Department of Health Services regulations fruits and vegetables grown in a school garden and cut on-site for immediate consumption.

Guns near schools: HB 2338 forbids any school governing board — K-12 through university — from banning someone from legally possessing a deadly weapon on a public right of way adjacent to campus. State lawmakers during debate of the bill said they were responding to concerns about limiting the gun rights of drivers on Central Avenue in Phoenix who travel adjacent to the Arizona State University downtown campus.

Sex-offender website: SB 1286 requires the sex-offender registry website to include anyone convicted of rape, child molestation or other crimes of child prostitution or sexual exploitation of a child younger than 12, regardless of the level of offense.

Undocumented inmates: HB 2451 requires undocumented immigrants convicted of crimes to complete 85 percent of their prison sentences, just as U.S. citizens must, before the Arizona Department of Corrections can release them to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation. Currently, some inmates in the country illegally can be released to federal officials after serving half of their sentences.

Service animals: SB 1382 allows a service animal to be excluded from a public place if the animal is out of control or is not housebroken. It requires that service animals be "under the control" of its handler, in most cases via a harness, leash or other tether, unless the handler has a disability that prevents him or her from using such a device or the device would interfere with the animal's ability to do its job.
