Bill > SB1160

This bill amends existing Arizona law to prohibit the operation of civil unmanned aircraft, commonly known as drones, within 5,280 feet of or 5,280 feet above a "ticketed entertainment event," which is defined as a music, sporting, or performing arts event requiring a paid license for attendance and held in a secured location. Exceptions to this prohibition include obtaining written consent from event authorities, operating as an employee of the event venue or a public utility conducting official business, or operating a drone over one's own private property for non-commercial purposes that do not involve conveying messages, commercial broadcasting, or interfering with the event. The bill also clarifies that violations of this new provision are classified as a class 1 misdemeanor, while other existing prohibitions related to critical facilities remain as felonies.
