Three years of pool safety advocacy pays off for Safe Kids, Baker family in new, life-saving law Washington, D.C. -- In a move that child safety advocates say will save the lives of thousands of children, President Bush today signed The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act of 2007. The legislation provides incentives for states to adopt comprehensive pool safety laws that will protect children from life-threatening injuries and horrible deaths from dangerous pool & spa drains. Specifically, the law will: Require public
pools to incorporate anti-entrapment drain covers and other layers of
protection. The
legislation would require
that each public pool and spa be equipped with anti-entrapment drain
covers and other layers of protection, such as safety vacuum release
systems.
