Lulu’s Law
Sponsored By: Representative Palmer
In Committee
Summary
Designates shark attacks as a qualifying event for Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA). This bill would require the Federal Communications Commission to issue an order within 180 days to add shark attacks to the existing federal definition of "Alert Message." That change would allow public safety officials to transmit WEA messages about shark attacks using the current WEA rules and systems. The bill directs the FCC to rely on the Alert Message definition in the Code of Federal Regulations.

Wireless Alerts for Shark Attacks
If enacted, the bill would require the Federal Communications Commission to issue an order within 180 days designating shark attacks as an event for which an "Alert Message" may be transmitted. That would let Wireless Emergency Alerts (the cell-phone emergency messages defined in 47 C.F.R. 10.10(a)) be used for shark attacks. The bill would not provide new funding or change who can send alerts beyond directing the FCC to issue the order.
