Bill Summary
A BILL To require the Federal Communications Commission to issue an order providing that a shark attack is an event for which a wireless emergency alert may be transmitted, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, known as "Lulu's Law," requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to issue an order within 180 days of enactment that allows wireless emergency alerts (WEAs) to be transmitted in the event of a shark attack. The bill defines an "Alert Message" using the existing definition in the Code of Federal Regulations, which pertains to the technical specifications of emergency communications. Currently, wireless emergency alerts are typically used for imminent threats like severe weather, missing children, or national security emergencies, and this legislation would expand those alerts to include shark attacks, potentially helping to warn beachgoers and swimmers about immediate marine predator dangers. By mandating the FCC to update its regulations, the bill aims to provide an additional layer of public safety communication specifically focused on shark-related incidents.
