Bill > S3032

This bill extends the Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (Counter-UAS) authority for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) until September 30, 2028. The legislation modifies an existing provision in the Homeland Security Act of 2002 by changing the current expiration date from September 30, 2025, to September 30, 2028. Counter-UAS authorities are critical legal powers that allow these federal agencies to detect, track, and potentially mitigate unauthorized or potentially threatening unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) near sensitive facilities and critical infrastructure. By extending these authorities for an additional three years, the bill ensures that DHS and DOJ can continue to protect national security interests and critical assets from potential drone-related threats without interruption.
