ATWEC Technologies (PINKSHEETS: ATWT) announced that Louisiana legislators passed a law that allows the Department of Children and Family Services to require child safety alarms on all vehicles transporting daycare children.
State Rep. Regina Barrow introduced House Bill 572, now ACT 200, which passed unanimously during the legislative session. This new requirement will become effective July 1, 2011.
"This is a great day for the children and the state of Louisiana with the passage of this law. Our message is gaining momentum with legislators and we must continue to educate the public on the merits of saving lives with proven and patented technology," said Alex T. Wiley (President/CEO).
ATWEC's president would like to personally thank Louisiana officials State Rep. Regina Barrow who authored the legislation and State Senator Sharon Weston Broome who co-authored the bill. State Rep. Regina Barrow said she believes "our children's safety should always be our first priority and this is another step to ensure that while parents are working they can feel more secure about their children's safety. This is a win-win for all Louisianans."
