Bill Summary

An Act to allow subdivisions to limit the operation of drones at open-air events.

AI Summary

This bill allows political subdivisions, which are local government entities like cities and counties, to create rules and regulations, called ordinances and resolutions, that place sensible and required restrictions on how drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles, can be flown. These restrictions are intended to safeguard people's privacy and prevent drones from entering private property without permission during specific types of public gatherings. The bill specifically lists parades, outdoor festivals, the state fair, county fairs, air shows, sporting events, and any other event held outdoors that attracts a large crowd as examples of occasions where these drone limitations can be applied.
