Bill overview
This bill expands the exceptions to restrictions on using unmanned aircraft systems (drones) by state agencies. Generally, state agencies can only use drones to surveil or gather information about facilities with explicit consent from the owner or operator, or under specific circumstances like imminent threats to public safety, inspections of infrastructure, or disaster response efforts. The bill also outlines requirements for marking drones and handling data collected during these operations, including providing it to the facility owner upon request.
