Lulu’s Law

This bill, called Lulu’s Law, makes sure people can get wireless emergency alerts on their phones if there’s a shark attack nearby. It tells the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to issue an order within 180 days so that shark attacks are clearly covered by these alerts, just like other dangers to life and property. This helps local officials warn beachgoers fast, the same way they already warn about severe weather or missing children .

Key points:

• Who is affected: Beachgoers, coastal communities, local public safety officials, and mobile phone users in affected areas.
• What changes: Shark attacks are added as an event that can trigger a wireless emergency alert to phones.
• When: The FCC must put this into effect within 180 days after the law is enacted.
