Unlawful Use Of Unmanned Aircraft

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill creates new crimes related to the use of drones, or "unmanned aircraft." It would be illegal to use a drone to capture images of people, private property, or critical infrastructure facilities with the intent to conduct surveillance. It would also be illegal to operate a drone near a critical infrastructure facility if it interferes with operations or makes contact with the facility. Violations could result in misdemeanor or felony charges, with several exceptions for authorized uses like law enforcement, commercial purposes, or academic research.
