Drone Integration and Zoning Act

Bill 119 s 1249, also known as the "Preserving State, Local, and Tribal Authorities and Private Property with Respect to Unmanned Aircraft Systems Act," aims to address the regulation of commercial unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), commonly known as drones. The bill seeks to establish zoning authority for the use of commercial UAS and to protect the rights of states, local governments, tribal authorities, and private property owners in regulating and controlling the use of drones.

The bill recognizes the growing use of drones for commercial purposes and the need for clear guidelines and regulations to ensure the safe and responsible use of this technology. By prescribing zoning authority for commercial UAS, the bill aims to prevent conflicts and ensure that the use of drones is in compliance with local regulations and restrictions.

Additionally, the bill seeks to preserve the authority of states, local governments, and tribal authorities in regulating the use of drones within their jurisdictions. This includes the ability to establish restrictions on where drones can fly, how they can be used, and the protection of private property rights. Overall, Bill 119 s 1249 aims to strike a balance between promoting the use of commercial drones for beneficial purposes while also protecting the rights of states, local governments, tribal authorities, and private property owners. It recognizes the need for clear regulations and guidelines to ensure the safe and responsible use of drones in our communities.
