Bill overview
The Drone Integration and Zoning Act of 2019 aims to balance the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) authority over airspace with state, local, and tribal governments’ rights to regulate the use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The bill requires the FAA to designate airspace between 200 and 400 feet for civil UAS, allow property owners’ permission for operations near their property, preserve local restrictions below 200 feet, and establish a process for designating commercial routes above 200 feet. It also emphasizes state and local control over UAS take-off and landing zones and clarifies rules regarding commercial carriage of property, ensuring that state authorizations can be used for intrastate operations.
