Bill Summary
A bill to amend 2016 PA 436, entitled"Unmanned aircraft systems act,"by amending section 22 (MCL 259.322).
AI Summary
This bill amends Michigan's Unmanned Aircraft Systems Act by adding a new provision that prohibits drone operators from knowingly and intentionally flying drones over private dwellings in a way that interferes with the property owner's or occupant's ability to enjoy their home peacefully. The bill builds upon existing restrictions that already prohibit drone use for harassment, violating restraining orders, invading privacy, or capturing unauthorized images. It complements other sections of the law that restrict drone operations by sex offenders or in situations that could constitute harassment. The new provision specifically addresses concerns about drone intrusion into residential spaces, providing property owners with additional legal protection against disruptive drone activity. The amendment will take effect 90 days after being signed into law, giving drone operators and the public time to understand and comply with the new regulation.
