Bill > A04101

This bill amends the Environmental Conservation Law of New York to prohibit the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, for hunting or taking wildlife. The bill defines an "unmanned aerial vehicle" as any aircraft operated without direct human intervention. The key provision of the bill is the addition of a new subdivision that explicitly forbids the use of UAVs for hunting or capturing wildlife. The bill aims to regulate the emerging technology of drones and their potential impact on wildlife conservation and traditional hunting practices in New York.
