Combating Emerging Firearms Threats and Improving School-Based Active-Shooter Drills
This executive order establishes an interagency task force to develop strategies against emerging firearms threats, specifically machinegun conversion devices and 3D printed ghost guns, requiring reports within 90 days. It also directs the Departments of Education and Homeland Security to publish guidance on improving school-based active-shooter drills within 110 days, with attention to trauma reduction and civil rights compliance.
Reducing Gun Violence and Making Our Communities Safer
This executive order directs federal agencies to implement the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and take additional steps to reduce gun violence, including clarifying firearms dealer licensing requirements, promoting safe storage and red flag laws, improving ballistics data reporting, and developing support programs for gun violence survivors.
Adding Measles to the List of Quarantinable Communicable Diseases
This executive order adds measles to the federal list of quarantinable communicable diseases, granting CDC authority to detain and examine individuals suspected of carrying measles to prevent interstate spread. It amends a 2003 Bush-era executive order that originally established quarantine powers for diseases like SARS, Ebola, and pandemic flu.
