AI Summary
This bill, the American Security Drone Act of 2023, prohibits federal agencies from procuring or operating covered unmanned aircraft systems (drones) manufactured or assembled by "covered foreign entities," which include certain China-linked entities and those deemed national security risks. However, the bill provides exemptions for certain national security, public safety, and research purposes. The bill also requires the federal government to account for existing inventories of these covered drones and establish a government-wide policy for drone procurement to address information security risks. The bill includes sunset provisions and exceptions for certain state, local, tribal, and intelligence community activities.
