Additionally, Senator Gutierrez will make an appropriations request to provide funding for safety measures in schools and mental healthcare.
Tomorrow, Gutierrez will continue to uphold his commitment to advocate for justice, truth, and accountability. This is the second release of several expected packages of Uvalde legislation.
