Texas governor issues eight executive orders in response to mass shootings thehill.com/homenews/state…
The provisions include developing standardized intake questions to better ID info that should be reported to the Suspicious Activity Reporting Network, as well as ordering DPS to develop programs to raise awareness of how such reports are used to flag potential mass shooters
Abbott's orders also call on both the state Department of Public Safety and the governor's office to increase staff at "all fusion centers in Texas" to better monitor social media and online forums for possible threats on top of monitoring suspicious activity reports.
Another order states that "Beginning January 1, 2020, all future grant awards from the Office of the Governor to counties shall require a commitment that the county will report at least 90% of convictions within 7 business days to the Criminal Justice Information System at DPS."
