Bill Summary
An Act prohibiting the use of remotely piloted aircraft flying over certain property, and providing penalties.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits the use of remotely piloted aircraft, or drones, from flying over certain property without the owner's consent. It defines key terms like "homestead," "secure farmstead area," and "surveillance device." The bill makes it a simple misdemeanor to control a drone over a homestead or secure farmstead area that is not owned or leased by the person, and a serious misdemeanor for repeat offenders. It also allows homeowners and secure farmstead owners to seek a temporary injunction to prevent drone harassment and recover associated legal costs. The bill provides exceptions for commercial/agricultural drone use, government entities, public utilities, and railroad companies. The bill aims to protect privacy and property rights related to homes and agricultural operations.
