AUSTIN – Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick issued this statement today following the passage of the conference committee report for Senate Bill 11 – School Safety Act, by Sen. Larry Taylor, R-Friendswood:

“In the wake of the Santa Fe High School shooting last year, we knew we had to take swift action to prevent future tragedies from occurring. Senate Bill 11 will implement a comprehensive package of strategies to help prevent school shootings. Our goal is that no child will ever feel afraid at school and our prayer is that no Texas family will ever experience the grief that follows a school shooting. The safety of our children remains paramount — the future of Texas depends on it.”
