What the document says
“Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Federal Communications Commission shall issue an order to provide that a shark attack is an event for which an Alert Message may be transmitted.”
Subsection (b). It sets a deadline of 180 days from enactment and directs the Federal Communications Commission to issue an order making a shark attack an event for which an Alert Message may be sent.
What the document actually says
“Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Federal Communications Commission shall issue an order to provide that a shark attack is an event for which an Alert Message may be transmitted.”
That sentence, in plain words
The FCC has 180 days to put out an order. The order must say a shark attack is one reason to send an alert.
What this is about
The FCC is the agency in charge of phones and radio. An alert is the message that buzzes on a phone. The clock starts the day the law is signed.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
