VIRGINIA GRAEME BAKER POOL AND SPA SAFETY ACT

(Information taken directly from the Texas Department of Health and Safety Website)

On December 19, 2007, the President signed into law the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, named after the daughter of James and Nancy Baker and the granddaughter of former Secretary of State James Baker III. Graeme Baker died in a tragic incident in June 2002 after the suction from a spa drain entrapped her under the water.
