David Faulkner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Lulu\u2019s Law is inspired by Lulu Gribbin, a 15-year-old girl from Mountain Brook, Alabama, who survived a shark attack last summer off the coast of Florida. The legislation would establish a shark alert system for Alabama\u2019s beaches capable of sharing information to mobile devices and first responders on duty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAlabama\u2019s beaches are one of our state\u2019s greatest natural resources, and it\u2019s important that we take every possible step to ensure families can safely enjoy their time spent there,\u201d\u00a0said Speaker Ledbetter. \u201cLulu is without a doubt one of our most extraordinary Alabamians and continues to set a strong example of what it means to not only overcome adversity but use it to inspire thousands. I\u2019m proud that the House passed this bill named in her honor and have no doubt that it will save lives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">U.S. Senator Katie Britt, R-Montgomery, was in attendance today as the House passed Lulu\u2019s Law. Senator Britt is carrying similar legislation at the federal level that would codify shark attacks as events for which wireless emergency alerts may be transmitted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cNone of our efforts to protect future beachgoers would be possible without Lulu\u2019s faith, courage, and strength. Her testimony is an inspiration, and she has truly been a catalyst for change,\u201d\u00a0said Senator Britt. \u201cI\u2019m grateful for the Alabama House of Representatives passing this important legislation, and I will keep fighting in the U.S. Senate to get Lulu\u2019s Law signed into federal law. This commonsense legislation would keep our families and children safe, and there is nothing more important than protecting the people we serve.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Governor Kay Ivey thanked Rep. Faulkner and urged lawmakers to get this legislation sent to her desk so she can sign it into law.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThank you to Rep. David Faulkner and the Alabama House for giving passage to Lulu\u2019s Law,\u201d\u00a0said Governor Kay Ivey. \u201cHB437 will establish a shark alert system for Baldwin and Mobile counties. Let\u2019s be Lulu strong and get this bill to my desk so I can sign it into law!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-6\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<div class=\"zox-post-ad-wrap\"><span class=\"zox-ad-label\">Advertisement.

When I heard what happened to her last summer, I felt that I had a responsibility to pass this legislation,\u201d\u00a0said Rep. Faulkner. \u201cHer story is so much more than what happened to her last summer. It\u2019s a story of resilience, strength, overcoming adversity, and trusting that no matter what, God has a plan for your life. Lulu and her family are an inspiration to thousands, and I\u2019m so thankful that my fellow members prioritized passing this important bill. As the session draws to an end, I\u2019m committed to working as hard as I possibly can to ensure Lulu\u2019s Law makes it to Governor Ivey\u2019s desk.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday, The Alabama House of Representatives passed HB437, Lulu\u2019s Law, by Rep.
