Bill overview
This bill, the Drone Espionage Act, updates existing federal law to specifically prohibit the act of taking or transmitting video footage that contains defense information. It amends Title 18 of the U.S. Code to include video as a prohibited item alongside photographic negatives when discussing the theft or transmission of classified information. The goal is to strengthen protections for sensitive defense data, particularly in the context of drone technology.
