Bill overview
This bill establishes a pilot program to explore the use of small, nonlethal drone aircraft by law enforcement agencies to assist in responding to active shooter events. The program, overseen by the Federal Aviation Administration, will evaluate the effectiveness of these drones, develop training protocols, and establish operational guidelines. It also requires drones used in the program to be manufactured in the United States and aims to create a formal process for law enforcement agencies to obtain approval for using these devices.
