Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
The bill, titled "Lulu’s Law," directs the Federal Communications Commission to issue an order within 180 days declaring that a shark attack is an event for which a Wireless Emergency Alert (Alert Message) may be transmitted. The statute references the FCC definition of Alert Message in 47 C.F.R. §10.10(a) and contains no funding or operational detail beyond the 180-day order requirement.
Left emphasizes equity and safeguards; right stresses local control.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a concise administrative directive that unambiguously assigns one task to the FCC within a fixed timeframe and references the relevant existing regulatory provision.
