We applaud the leadership of the chairwoman and other cosponsors in introducing the PARK IT Act and urge Congress to enact it.

The Public Record
Janice D. Schakowsky is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Illinois's 9th congressional district since 1999. A member of the Democratic Party, she has been a prominent advocate for various progressive issues, including healthcare reform, women's rights, and consumer protection. Schakowsky has played a significant role in shaping policies related to social justice and economic equality throughout her tenure in Congress.
Such a tragedy claimed the lives of Dr. James D. Livingston and Dr. Sherry H. Penney.
We commend Chairwoman Schakowsky along with Representatives Tim Ryan and Peter King for introducing the Hot Cars Act and call on Congress to swiftly enact it.
And that is why I introduced the PARK IT Act with my colleagues Darren Soto, Joe Kennedy, and Seth Moulton.
Twenty-one children have tragically died this year--this is a record--inside a hot car.
A Hot Cars Act will ensure that this lifesaving technology is equipped on all vehicles.
No child should have their right to life taken from them because they become trapped in a hot car.
The number of vehicle-related fatalities has been staggering over the last several years.
