A feel-good law that is more than worthless. This extra expense imposed on daycare providers will result in some cutting their transportation service and others to raise their prices. As anyone knows who needs daycare, this means that some children will be left in the cold. More reasonable price daycare is what we need if we care about the welfare of children -- not legislation that will increase the already steep prices of the daycare we have.

Let me get this correct...we are going to put an alarm in a vehicle to make a person go to the back to turn it off! How long will it take before someone bypasses it so that they still won't have to turn it off. I agree that it is tragic that any child is forgotten and dies, but it was negligence of the person...I think that they could design the seats better so that the kids are seen from the front (remove any blind spots) or better yet have the entrance at the back of the vehicle that makes the driver exit that way all the time (easy to bypass electronics but hard to make a new door). And the cost can be absorb, maybe thier insurance carrier would be willing to pay for the safety feature since it might prevent a large claim later.

What? It's not too late for the kids going to day care now, or in the future. As for too little, what other brilliant solutions do you have up your sleeve? This is not a simple problem to solve even if you limit it to an engineering question. A comment like that really makes no sense and less point.

Pretty sad that a law has to be passed requiring a device to make a van/bus driver get off their duff to do something they're paid to do in the first place. Also, nice to see that the gov. could take a little time away from destroying the state economy to make it out to Milwaukee to sign the bill.

Too little, too late.
