Bill > S06119

This bill amends the Environmental Conservation Law to prohibit the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, in the hunting or taking of wildlife. Specifically, it adds a definition of "unmanned aerial vehicle" to the law and creates a new provision that explicitly prohibits the use of UAVs for hunting or capturing wildlife. The bill is intended to address the growing use of drones for hunting, which some consider an unethical or unsportsmanlike hunting practice.
