U.S. Senator Katie Britt Applauds President Trump’s Signing of Lulu’s Law

U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) celebrated President Trump for his signing of her legislation, S. 1003, Lulu’s Law. The United States Senate passed the legislation unanimously on July 8, 2025, and the House of Representatives recently followed suit with overwhelming support  On June 7, 2024, Lulu Gribbin was attacked by a shark and sustained nearly fatal injuries. Just 90 minutes earlier and only a few miles away, Elizabeth Foley had also been attacked by a shark. Recently, there was a shark attack in St. Andrews Bay that left a man in critical condition, reinforcing the need for the warning mechanisms that Lulu’s Law will now provide. The signing of Lulu’s Law will codify shark attacks as events for which the Federal Communications Commission will transmit warnings through Wireless Emergency Alerts, allowing beachgoers to be alerted to unsafe water conditions following an attack. Had an alert system been in place, it is reasonable to believe that none of these attacks would have occurred because beachgoers would have been warned to exit the water due to the potential danger.
