Governor Kay Ivey on Tuesday officially put her signature on House Bill
437, Lulu’s Law, which establishes a shark alert system under the
Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for beaches and
shorelines in Baldwin and Mobile counties. The bill, inspired by
Birmingham teen Lulu Gribbin, enables Mobile and Baldwin County
Emergency Management Agencies to warn individuals of a shark attack by
providing alerts to be sent to mobile cellular devices in localized
areas and to first responders on duty.

After signing the bill into law, Governor Ivey issued the following
comment:

“Alabama is proud to have the safest and most beautiful beaches in the
world. 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
Gribbin with me as I signed this bill into law.” _– Governor Kay

The governor was joined in her office by Lulu Gribbin, as well as bill
sponsors, Rep. David Faulkner and Sen. Dan Roberts, House Speaker
Nathaniel Ledbetter and members of the Gribbin family.
