Bill > SB1111

This bill directs the Tennessee Aeronautics Commission to conduct a comprehensive study of drone operation restrictions over private property in other states. Specifically, the bill amends Section 42-2-301(f) of the Tennessee Code by adding a new subdivision that requires the Commission to research and examine how different states regulate drone usage in private airspace. By mandating this study, the legislation aims to gather information that could potentially inform future drone regulation policies in Tennessee. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the state's interest in understanding emerging drone technology and its potential impacts on private property rights. While the bill does not itself establish new drone restrictions, it represents a proactive step toward developing informed drone regulations by studying approaches taken in other jurisdictions.
