The commission, appointed by Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy, will meet Friday to discuss the draft, which is dedicated to the six educators and 26 first-graders killed by 20-year-old Adam Lanza at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The draft includes recommendations on school classroom locks, safer and more secure school buildings and campuses; more gun-control measures; and findings by the panel's mental-health subcommittee on a "fragmented and underfunded" behavioral-health system, according to the Hartford Courant.
It recommends also the development of programs to help the entire state recover from mass tragedies, the Courant said.
On gun-control, the commission supports a statewide "suitability screening process" for people seeking gun permits, the Courant said.
It also calls for more oversight of children who are home-schooled, more school security measures, rules on 911 call centers, increased gun-control laws, more training on active shooter situations, and serial numbers on ammunition, among others.
