This bill would require the Federal Communications Commission to change its rules so that shark attacks can be reported through wireless emergency alerts. These are the same types of loud notifications you get on your phone for severe weather or missing children.
The change would allow local officials to quickly warn people at the beach if a shark attack has just occurred nearby. This helps swimmers and surfers know they should get out of the water immediately to stay safe.
If the bill is passed and signed into law, the government would have 180 days to set up the new rules. This would give coastal communities a new tool to help protect the public from dangerous wildlife encounters.
