with $50 million of that tranche secured personally by Britt.



“I was proud to secure priorities that empower economic development, improve
safety, and grow opportunity in our local communities,” said Sen. Katie Britt.



Among the targeted funds, Sen. Britt secured $30.1 million for local road and
bridge improvement projects throughout the state — including $20 million for
the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) to improve and widen SR-167
from Pike County to Coffee County, building on a similar $20 million secured

Sen. Katie Britt introduces proposals to address the rising cost of childcare




<[link removed]>

U.S. Senator Katie Britt introduced two bipartisan pieces of legislation, the
Child Care Availability and Affordability Act and the Child Care Workforce Act,
with the goal of making childcare more affordable and accessible by enhancing
existing tax credits and increasing the supply of child care providers.



Sen. Britt joined reporters on Wednesday morning to discuss a range of
legislative topics. The Senator was first asked about two bills she recently
helped to introduce that would make child care more affordable and accessible
for millions of Americans, in turn aiding small businesses.



The Child Care Availability and Affordability Act and the Child Care Workforce
Act, if passed, could achieve the Senator’s goal of reinforcing small
businesses by strengthening existing tax credits to lower childcare costs and
increase the supply of childcare providers.

Katie Britt champions ‘Lulu’s Law’ to protect beachgoers from shark attacks,
inspired by Alabama teen’s heroic survival


<[link removed]>

After a shark attack in Florida almost took the life of a young Mountain Brook
girl, U.S. Senator Katie Britt introduced a bill to protect and rescue any
American in similar danger much faster.



Britt named the bill ‘Lulu’s Law’ in honor of the attack victim, Lulu Gribbin.
The law would classify shark attacks as events for which Wireless Emergency
Alerts (WEAs) are transmitted.



WEAs are critical notifications sent to inform first responders and the public
about imminent threats to safety or essential information. These alerts are
transmitted via mobile networks and can reach individuals quickly, regardless
of whether they are subscribed. The inclusion of shark attacks as a trigger for
WEAs, as proposed in Lulu’s Law, would enable authorities to swiftly warn
beachgoers about recent shark sightings or incidents.
