What S. 1003 does
Lulu's Law requires the Federal Communications Commission to issue an order explicitly permitting wireless emergency alerts to be sent to mobile phones in the event of a shark attack.
Under current regulations, authorized government authorities can already send these alerts for public safety emergencies such as severe weather, missing children and other threats to life or property.
