A new federal bill aimed at preventing shark attacks by sending real-time alerts to beachgoers’ phones is making waves in Congress. The legislation, known as Lulu’s Law, passed the U.S. Senate this week and is now headed to the House for a vote.

A recent Senate-approved bill, "Lulu's Law," aims to establish a national wireless emergency alert system for shark attacks, inspired by 16-year-old survivor Lulu Gribbin.

The Senate-passed Lulu's Law would allow authorities to send out cell phone alerts when there's been a shark attack.
