The proposed legislation, known as the LuLu Gribbin Shark Alert System Act, aims to establish a shark alert system specifically for Baldwin and Mobile Counties in Alabama. The bill mandates the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to develop, implement, and operate this alert system, with assistance from various state agencies and local emergency management organizations. The alert system will be activated upon receiving a confirmed report of an unprovoked shark attack near the shoreline, ensuring timely communication to the public about potential dangers.

Additionally, the bill outlines the roles of various stakeholders, including first responders and local law enforcement, in the operation of the alert system. It also includes provisions that protect the department and associated entities from legal liability for any failure to activate the alert system. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025. Notably, the bill includes new legal language to establish the alert system and its operational protocols, while no deletions from current law are specified.
