Recorded summary

Lulu's Law would require the FCC to issue an order explicitly permitting authorized government authorities to send wireless emergency alerts to mobile phones in the event of a shark attack. Current rules already allow such alerts for other public safety emergencies, such as severe weather, missing children, and threats to life or property.

Theological note: The measure concerns the protection of human life from a specific physical danger through public warning. Scripture grounds civil authority partly in protecting the lives of citizens, so warning the public of imminent lethal danger is relevant to general equity. The issue is modest and concerns prudential administration rather than a direct moral question.
