On Friday, June 26, 2026, the President signed S. 1003, known as “Lulu’s Law,” into federal law. The legislation directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to issue an order that explicitly allows the transmission of wireless emergency alerts to mobile phones when a shark attack is imminent or occurring. The law does not create new alerts but requires the FCC to enable existing emergency alert infrastructure to reach mobile devices during such incidents. This change aims to improve public safety by ensuring that people near coastal areas can receive timely warnings. The law was passed by Congress and signed by the President after deliberation in both chambers.
