Lulu’s Law

Bill 119 HR 2076, also known as the Shark Attack Wireless Emergency Alert Act, is a proposed legislation that aims to require the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to issue an order stating that a shark attack is considered an event for which a wireless emergency alert can be transmitted.

The bill seeks to ensure that individuals in areas where shark attacks occur are promptly notified through their mobile devices, allowing them to take necessary precautions and seek help if needed. This alert system would be similar to existing emergency alerts for natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and other emergencies.

In addition to addressing shark attacks, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to emergency alert systems. The specifics of these additional purposes are not detailed in the summary of the bill. Overall, the Shark Attack Wireless Emergency Alert Act aims to enhance public safety by expanding the types of events for which emergency alerts can be issued, specifically focusing on the threat of shark attacks. The bill is currently under consideration in the US Congress and may undergo further revisions before potentially becoming law.
