What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill tells the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to create rules for drones and to let state and local governments have some say in regulating them. It sets up specific altitude zones for drone flights, generally between 200 and 400 feet above the ground, and says drones cannot fly below 200 feet over someone's private property without that property owner's permission. State, local, and tribal governments would be allowed to set reasonable rules on when, how, and where drones can fly below 200 feet. The bill also requires the FAA to create official routes for commercial drones and lets local authorities apply to help manage drone operations in busy airspace areas.
