Summary

The bill adds new rules for police and other law‑enforcement agencies that buy or already own unmanned aerial or ground vehicles. Starting in 2026, agencies must store all video and other data with an American data‑storage company, and for purchases after 2027 they must also ensure the vehicle can disable any non‑essential data‑collection functions. The goal is to keep surveillance data under local control and prevent foreign access.
