Contact Congress about H.R. 2076: Lulu’s Law

This bill requires the FCC to let local officials send wireless emergency alerts about shark attacks to your phone. It uses the system already in place for other emergencies, so it wouldn't require building anything new. The FCC would have six months to make the rule change.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people near coastlines and the agencies responsible for public safety in those areas.

Why this matters: Quick alerts about shark attacks could help people get out of the water and avoid danger. This is especially important at busy beaches where word-of-mouth or lifeguard flags may not reach everyone fast enough.

Key provisions in H.R. 2076

• The bill tells the FCC to update the rules for Wireless Emergency Alerts.
• Shark attacks would become an officially recognized event that can trigger an emergency alert on your phone.
• The bill ties into an existing federal regulation that defines what counts as an 'Alert Message' (47 C.F.R. § 10.10(a)).
• The FCC has a hard deadline of 180 days after the bill becomes law to issue the new rule.
• Nothing about how the alert system works would change — the bill just adds shark attacks to the list of events that qualify for an alert.
