Bill Summary
AN ACT 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, named 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 during shark attacks. The bill defines an "Alert Message" using existing federal regulations and aims to expand the types of events for which emergency alerts can be sent. Wireless Emergency Alerts are short emergency messages sent to mobile devices to warn the public about critical situations, such as severe weather, missing children, or other immediate threats. By specifically including shark attacks in the list of qualifying events, the bill seeks to improve public safety by providing timely warnings about potential marine predator dangers in coastal areas.
