Lulu’s Law

This legislation tells the Federal Communications Commission to make sure shark attacks can trigger a Wireless Emergency Alert on cell phones. The FCC must put this change in place within 180 days after the bill becomes law. Today, alerts already cover things like severe weather, missing children, and other life‑threatening emergencies; this adds shark attacks to that list.

Key points:

• Who is affected: People in areas where shark attacks may happen, and the public safety agencies that send alerts.
• What changes: Shark attacks become an approved reason to send a Wireless Emergency Alert to nearby phones.
• When: The FCC must make this update within 180 days after the law takes effect.
