I think this bill is great! It will help with drone operations and make things easier. Who will this bill help the most?

I'm really looking forward to the potential changes this bill could bring. It's exciting to think about the possibilities that could come from expanding operations for unmanned aircraft systems. Can't wait to see how this all plays out!
