Bill overview
This bill restricts how residential property insurance companies can inspect homes by prohibiting the use of remotely operated unmanned aircraft (drones). It requires insurers to provide at least 30 days’ notice before using drones for aerial images, allowing policyholders to request those images. The bill also establishes penalties for operating drones over critical infrastructure and schools, including a new infraction for operating drones over Sacramento’s State Capitol. Furthermore, it mandates the destruction of drone-collected data within 90 days and addresses potential termination of insurance contracts based on drone inspections, requiring insurers to provide detailed information and a 120-day remediation period.
