00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:04.200
<v 0>I'm gonna be signing at least eight bills focused on public safety and focused</v>

2
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:08.940
on protecting our fellow Texas and to hold criminals

3
00:00:09.150 --> 00:00:14.100
accountable. One of those bills holds rogue district attorney's accountable.

4
00:00:14.540 --> 00:00:19.530
Listen, if a district attorney wants to be in law enforcement to have to start

5
00:00:19.950 --> 00:00:23.280
by enforcing the laws of the state of Texas,

6
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:29.220
we will also be signing bills that reign in the

7
00:00:29.225 --> 00:00:31.440
rash of illegal street racing.

8
00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:34.470
We've seen this arise across the entire country,

9
00:00:34.470 --> 00:00:35.920
even right here in the state of Texas.

10
00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:39.900
We created a task force to crack down on the street racing,

11
00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:42.360
and it worked very effectively. That said,

12
00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:46.980
we know that law enforcement needs more and better tools to be able to crack

13
00:00:46.980 --> 00:00:50.910
down and eliminate dangerous street racing in communities.

14
00:00:51.390 --> 00:00:52.710
I'll signed a bill addressing that.

15
00:00:53.550 --> 00:00:57.120
I'll also signed a bill to deter analytic converter theft,

16
00:00:57.990 --> 00:01:02.790
punish criminals who remove ankle monitors and a law that puts violent criminals

17
00:01:02.790 --> 00:01:07.740
behind bars for longer if they leave their victim permanently

18
00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:11.340
paralyzed or facing serious brain damage.

19
00:01:12.030 --> 00:01:16.560
And I'm signing a law to provide much needed support for our

20
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.660
rural law enforcement officers.

21
00:01:19.320 --> 00:01:24.210
We're going to provide more than 330 million in grants for sheriff's

22
00:01:24.210 --> 00:01:28.590
constables and prosecutors and rural counties to both of pay for

23
00:01:28.950 --> 00:01:32.730
hardworking law enforcement officers. Some of them are working on the.
