Summary

Requires the Federal Communications Commission to issue an order within 180 days after enactment to allow transmission of federally defined "Alert Messages" for shark attacks by reference to the existing Wireless Emergency Alerts rules. The bill ties the definition to 47 C.F.R. §10.10(a) (or successor) and mandates a rulemaking deadline but provides no new funding or program details.

Key Points

• Mandates the FCC to issue an order within 180 days to allow Alert Messages for shark attacks.
• Defines "Alert Message" by reference to the FCC regulation at 47 C.F.R. §10.10(a) (or successor).
• Focuses narrowly on shark-attack alerts, not on other marine hazards or emergency types.
• No funding or appropriations are included; the requirement is a regulatory directive only.
