Press release from Monrovia Chamber of Commerce:

February 2, 2022

Sacramento, CA - State Senator Anthony J. Portantino (D – La Cañada Flintridge) introduced
Senate Bill 906, a bill that prioritizes student safety by increasing available information on gun access and safe at-home storage of firearms while ensuring quick and robust investigations of imminent school threats.

Since 1970, the United States has had 1,316 school shootings with 164 occurring in California. As experienced in Michigan, these shootings are too often fatal. As the author of California’s safe storage of firearms legislation, Senator Portantino is following up that effort with a comprehensive school safety plan, which includes monitoring access to weapons and a strong and prudent mandate to follow through on threats.
