The bill was introduced in the 88th Legislative Session by a Dallas lawmaker in response to the shooting in shooting in Methodist Dallas Medical Center.
”Sgt. Rangel demonstrated exceptional skill and bravery," said State Rep. Rafael Anchia. "His decisive response helped to prevent further loss of life."
The Pokuaa-Flowers Act would require hospitals to get advance notice of people on parole for the most violent crimes and on an ankle monitor who want to go on campus. It’s in response to what happened last October at Methodist Hospital when a man on parole killed a nurse and social worker for a violent offense.
