HB 3190·IL·house

AERONAUTICS-UNMANNED AIRCRAFT

Passed One ChamberFiled Feb 6, 2025
Sponsor: Robert "Bob" Rita
Latest Action

Rule 3-9(a) / Re-referred to Assignments

May 15, 2026

Summary

The bill amends the Illinois Aeronautics Act to make state regulation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) the exclusive authority, preventing most local governments from enacting their own drone rules. It allows localities to set reasonable rules for private use of airspace over public parks and similar lands, but those rules cannot restrict commercial drone operations that inspect critical infrastructure. The change also safeguards licensed surveyors and engineers who fly drones as part of their professional work.
