Modifies provisions relating to law enforcement interception of unmanned aircraft systems
Placed on Informal Calendar
Summary
The bill repeals existing drone‑related statutes and adds new sections that make it illegal to operate an unmanned aircraft within 400 feet of a correctional center, an open‑air venue, or a critical‑infrastructure site without proper authorization. Penalties range from a simple infraction to felonies when drones are used to deliver weapons, aid an escape, or transport controlled substances. The law also requires those facilities to post warning signs and permits law‑enforcement officers to detect, track, jam or otherwise disable threatening drones.
