Bill Summary

A bill to amend 1984 PA 431, entitled"The management and budget act,"(MCL 18.1101 to 18.1594) by adding section 219a.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Michigan management and budget act by allowing the state department to install detection and prevention technologies for unmanned aircraft systems (drones) around state-owned buildings and critical infrastructure. Specifically, the department may deploy devices that can detect drones and technologies that prevent unauthorized drone flights over these sensitive areas. The bill also permits the department to coordinate with the state transportation department to include appropriate state-owned buildings and critical infrastructure in a statewide geofencing database, which creates virtual boundaries that restrict drone access. The bill importantly notes that these provisions are only valid to the extent they do not conflict with federal law. The term "unmanned aircraft" is defined by referencing the existing unmanned aircraft systems act, ensuring consistency with other state legislation. The primary goal appears to be enhancing security and protecting state assets by controlling drone access to potentially vulnerable locations.
