This legislation, titled "Lulu's Law," directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to expand the types of events for which a Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) may be transmitted. The primary purpose is to include shark attacks as a qualifying event for these critical public safety notifications. Specifically, the bill requires the FCC to issue an order within 180 days of the Act's enactment. This order will formally establish that a shark attack constitutes an event for which an Alert Message, as defined by existing regulations, can be sent to the public.
