H.R. 1022 - AWB II - What is in it?
Everything that was banned before is banned now, with a few new additions:

1. Ruger Mini-14s are banned by name along with M1 carbines, Saiga, Hi-Point Carbines, Oly OA pistols, and any SKS with a detachable magazine. (Sec. 3(a)(B)-(C))

2. Shotguns and pistols are also banned on characteristics as before. Any semi-auto with a fixed magazine of greater than 10 rounds is banned. (Sec. 3(a)(G)-(I))

3. Rifles are banned based on a new list of characteristics and you can have only ONE forbidden feature. Now prohibited is any semi-automatic rifle with a detachable magazine AND:

a folding or telescoping stock;
a threaded barrel;
a pistol grip;
a forward grip; or
a barrel shroud (which is defined so broadly it could mean anything from a rail system, freefloat tube or even the regular plastic/wood handguards) (Sec. 3(a)(F))

If you have one of these, you have a prohibited assault weapon.

4. Any frame or receiver substantially identical to a weapon described above is also an assault weapon (Sec. 3(a)(J)

5. A conversion kit (The term `conversion kit' means any part or combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting a firearm into a semiautomatic assault weapon, and any combination of parts from which a semiautomatic assault weapon can be assembled if the parts are in the possession or under the control of a person.) is also an assault weapon. So pistol grips, rail systems, threaded barrels etc. are assault weapons in their own right now. (Sec. 3(a)(K))

6. Any semiautomatic rifle or shotgun originally designed for law enforcement or military use (M1 Garand) is presumed to be an assault weapon and the Attorney General may restrict it if he decides it does not have a sporting use (actual use of the rifle in a sport doesn't mean it has sporting use according to this section). (Sec. 3(a)(L))

There is a grandfather provision; but it is different from the previous ban in two ways:

7. Anything declared an AW can only be transfered via FFL or to state/local law enforcement. No more private sales. (Sec. 6)

8. Now unlawful to transfer anything declared an AW with a large-capacity (greater than 10 rounds) ammunition feeding device (Sec. 7(a) - not more than 10yrs imprisonment)

9. All import of preban magazines banned and FFLs have 60-days to register existing stocks of preban magazines if they wish to transfer them. (Sec. 9 and Sec. 7(b)(4))
