MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) – Governor Kay Ivey has put her signature on Lulu’s law, a measure to establish a shark alert system for beaches and shorelines in Baldwin and Mobile Counties.
The bill, inspired by Lulu Gribben, will enable Mobile and Baldwin County Emergency Alert Systems to warn people of a shark attack in the area by providing mobile alerts to civilians and the nearest first responders on duty.
“Alabama is proud to have the safest and most beautiful beaches in the world,” Governor Ivey said Tuesday after signing the bill. “The added tool of having a shark alert system will help officials in Baldwin and Mobile counties keep our beachgoers safe and enjoying the refreshing waters of our Gulf of America. It was an honor to have Lulu Gribben with me as I signed this bill into law.”…
