Bill overview

This bill directs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to study how drones interfere with efforts to fight wildfires. The FAA will investigate drone incursions – when drones operate in restricted airspace due to wildfires – and their impact on firefighting operations, including delays and costs. The study will also explore ways to prevent these incursions, such as using counter-drone technology and educating the public.
