vehicles to make sure drivers don't leave children behind.
The state Senate and Assembly approved the bill Tuesday. Support for the change grew with this month's hyperthermia death of a 4-month-old boy who had been left in day-care van in Milwaukee for hours.
Gov. Jim Doyle is expected to sign the measure. It calls for day-care providers or their transportation contractors to outfit their vehicles with devices that will remind drivers to make sure all children exit. Failing to do so would be a misdemeanor.
At least 27 children nationwide have died after being left in day-care vans since 1994, according to KidsandCars.org, a national child-safety group.
