New Drone Rules: Protecting Privacy and Local Authority

This act introduces new rules for drone flights, especially commercial ones, below 200 feet above ground level. It grants greater control to state and local authorities over where and how drones can operate, while protecting property owners' privacy. Citizens gain more protection against unwanted drone flights over their properties.
Key points
State and local governments can set their own restrictions on drone flights below 200 feet, such as banning flights over schools or parks.
Commercial drone operators need property owner permission to fly below 200 feet over their property or land there.
The act facilitates the growth of drone delivery services while ensuring local authorities have a say in drone take-off and landing zones.
Simplified rules for small drones carrying goods within a single state are introduced, potentially lowering delivery costs.
