Two top officials in Texas have unveiled legislative proposals in the wake of a mass shooting at an elementary school in the state.
Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan, a Republican, released details on June 13 of a slate of proposals he wants passed, including bills that would expand telemedicine mental health services to children, provided the child’s parents consent; increase the number of teams that specialize in treating youth who experience psychotic episodes; and fund the purchase of silent panic alarms for school districts.
