Bill overview
This bill allows certain public utilities, cable television companies, and telecommunications service providers in New Jersey to use drones to inspect and maintain their critical infrastructure. The Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, along with the Board of Public Utilities and Department of Environmental Protection, will create rules for this operation. Companies can also hire third-party contractors to operate the drones, ensuring compliance with federal aviation regulations. This aims to improve the efficient identification and repair of damaged infrastructure.
