This is the text from latest IFAB meeting - exact new law wording not agreed/released yet
"On the topic of defining handball, a decision was taken by The IFAB to provide a more precise and detailed definition for what constitutes handball, in particular with regard to the occasions when a non-deliberate/accidental handball will be penalised. For example a goal scored directly from the hand/arm (even if accidental) and a player scoring or creating a goal-scoring opportunity after having gained possession/control of the ball from their hand/arm (even if accidental) will no longer be allowed.
Following experiments in different parts of the world, the AGM also approved changes to the Laws of the Game related to a player being substituted having to leave the field of play at the nearest boundary line, yellow and red cards for misconduct by team officials and the ball not having to leave the penalty area at goal kicks and defending team free kicks in the penalty area.
Additional approved Law changes included: measures to deal with attacking players causing problems in the defensive ‘wall’, changing the dropped ball procedure, giving a dropped ball in certain situations when the ball hits the referee and the goalkeeper only being required to have one foot on the line at a penalty kick."

No, not in this latest release.
That was mooted and I think Dermot Gallagher said on Sky that it was being introduced.
After the producer did his job (a day too late) I believe Sky issued a 'clarification' saying that this was not being considered now.
Once exact law changes are published , I'll put them up on here for the 3 of you who are interested!
Just to note that the player taking the kick can't score from a rebound from the post/bar now in any case. | | | |

That rule about the same player not being able to touch the ball after hitting the woodwork has always been the case, hasn't it? |  |

Yes it is simply the law that says a player taking any free kick cannot touch the ball again until it has touched another player. | | | |

That's good news. I was starting to fall out of love with the game but now they've addressed my major concern, I can start watching games again.
So pleased that goalkeepers will now be able to keep only foot on the goal line for penalties. |  | | |

At this moment in time should the player receiving the ball be closed down all he has to do is touch the ball for the goal kick to be taken again. Giving him an advantage.
Should have said in the area. [Post edited 7 Mar 2019 20:52]

Only if the goalkeeper has one foot on the goal line but his hands make a natural silhouette. | | | |

I'm not against change where it's sensible.
Give them credit in the NFL, if they need a rule change, they change the rules. We're always stuck on tradition. Plenty of easy and obvious rule changes they could make. I'm sure they'll get it wrong, but i think it's a mistake to be flat out against all change just for the sake of it. |  | | |

Also, apparently, its used as a time wasting tactic in other countries.
Plus few people know, including professional footballers!, that the ball has to leave the area from a defensive free kick as well - so IFAB has decided to change to what people think the law is - bizarre logic to me. | | | |

It's been used as a way to use up time in England for years!
Did you see the grin on the Reading defenders (forgotten his name, but ex manure & Sunderland) face when he played the ball in the area from a Reading free kick.
I don't buy that the players don't know the law. They do & have been exploiting it to their own advantage. Not that I can blame them for that! | | | |

I've seen plenty of players (while losing) try to play the ball in the area from a fk and then moan about the officials making them take it again. | | | |

That one does seem silly especially in kids football where in the wrong wind the ball barely gets out the area. Made sense in passback era but not now.
On handballs I wouldn’t mind if they just said any handball=handball as at least there’s no grey area to allow incidents like the one we didn’t get at Wigan. It’s incredibly inconsistently applied. | | | |
