AI Summary
This bill, the Drone Infrastructure Inspection Grant Act, directs the Secretary of Transportation to establish two grant programs. The first is a drone infrastructure inspection grant program that provides funding to government entities to facilitate the use of eligible small unmanned aircraft systems (i.e., drones) for more efficient inspection, operation, construction, maintenance, modernization, and repair of critical infrastructure, such as bridges, roads, and power grids, to improve worker safety. The second program provides grants to educational institutions for workforce training related to eligible small unmanned aircraft system technology. The bill also defines key terms like "critical infrastructure" and "covered foreign entity" and specifies the federal share of project costs under the grant programs.
