Bills aim to keep parents informed of potential safety issues.

Three years after the Parkland school shooting, Florida state legislators are continuing efforts to ensure schools are protected from mass shooters.

Sunday marks three years since a gunman killed 17 students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the worst school shooting in Florida history.

State Rep. Dan Daley, D-Coral Springs, and state Sen. Shevrin Jones, D-West Park, are partnering on legislation called the “Parents Need to Know” act.

That proposal (HB 951) would require schools to notify parents and staff within 24 hours of threats or violence on campus, along with what action was taken. The reports would be anonymous without identifying information. The legislation also creates a hotline and online system for parents to report issues.

While gun legislation hasn’t gained traction in the Republican-controlled Legislature, other school-safety measures have. Last year, lawmakers passed Alyssa’s Law, which requires panic alarms in schools. That legislation was named after Alyssa Alhadeff, a 14-year-old student killed at

Stoneman Douglas.

Here are some other proposals in the pipeline for the legislative session that starts in March.

◼Ammunition background checks (HB 25): Called Jaime’s Law, this would require background checks for ammunition sales in Florida. It’s named after Jaime Guttenberg, a 14-yearold killed in the Parkland school shooting.

◼Safe storage of firearms (HB 167): New requirements and penalties would be created for the storage of guns.

◼Ban assault weapons and reduce the capacity of magazines (HB 653): This would prohibit the sale of AR-15-style rifles, certain semi-automatic handguns and ammunition magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds.

◼Local government gun laws (HB 6033): This allows cities and counties to create local regulations on guns.

◼Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Memorial Day (SR 1266): Feb. 14 would be designated Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Memorial Day in Florida.
